Confessions Of A 30 Year Old Wall Street Wiz. "For The Love Of Money"

"In my last year on Wall Street my bonus was $3.6 million -- and I was angry because it wasn't big enough. I was 30 years old, had no children to raise, no debts to pay, no philanthropic goal in mind. I wanted more money for exactly the same reason an alcoholic needs another drink: I was addicted. Eight years earlier, I'd walked onto the trading floor at Credit Suisse First Boston to begin my summer internship." Sam Polk in The New York Times.
