Credit Suisse's Quattrone made around $200million a year I think, and this was like 5 years ago. I believe he's still in jail though.

I really didn't want to work in banking but Ive just finished the 2nd year of my com/eco degree and am working in another area which is pretty average.

Anyway, I never thought I would make a decision based on what the pay is like. However, since from the looks of things most of the work is boring, Ive decided to become a money hungry commerce student , so at least I get paid well ---> so whats the best plan guys?
