I wish I was a USA banker.
Get paid for f**ing up.
Loose money and the tax payer payer pays your losses.
Bonuses if you make money.
Bonuses if you loose money.
Golden handshakes if you get fired.
How the hell did I come to the conclusion to be an engineer?
All the US and EU banks should have been allowed to go to the wall. Lots of bankers should have lost their jobs. It would have been very painful for 5+ years but in the end it would have been much better! It would have taught the people the value of money, people would have become much more aware of credit / interest rates.
1000's of businesses go under every year and the tax payer does not bail them out!
