Ezra Klein says smart kids from top colleges are heading into finance because we haven't prepared them to do much else, and few other areas of the economy recruit as well as business and finance. Is he right? I'm not sure, but I think he's on to something. Maybe my evidence is mostly anecdotal, but I've certainly seen students drift to the money in college. Then again, I've seen other students do exactly the opposite when the realize making money with other peoples' money just doesn't satisfy their visions of the type of person they want to be.
