This is the kind of shit that really gets me. If you're a 28 year old and you make a million dollars in a year, what is your incentive to stick around and actually work and get good at what you do. And they're not accountable for the losses they're ultimately responsible for. You make your bankroll, quit, then fuck around for 10 years. Plus, the extreme amounts of money these people make at such a young age on Wall St. makes it less likely that they would go into professions where they could actually do society good - engineering, medicine, etc.
Was the point of this article to blind me with hatred for these asshats? If so, Job well done, Washington Post! "Well, I could get another job, but I might get fired from that one, too, and even if I don't get fired I might not make a huge bonus, so I think I'll just take a whole fucking year off and go play polo in South America whilst figuring out how I may best fuck up that continent, too."
Ass hats! Exactly! Apparently South America has become quite the gathering spot for unemployed bankers looking for new opportunities. Kind of like it was for Nazis after WWII.
Ugh. "How I Spent My Summer Vacation: Date-Raping My Way Around The World."
