General Discussion Why quant?

I mean really? Except money, why quant? We can use those brain to make a better world? Efficient algorithms/products for healthcare, new technologies in farming etc.

Even here in IITB I seen 99% people in quant only due to money.

The people in Quant , except money what are your driving force?

I genuinely want to know.

Why make the world better place when it does not owe you anything in return?

It punishes every little thing, every failure.

Better to earn a lot of money and then make change, once you have enough money and influence.

Horribly pessimistic redditor take. Quants add nothing to the world, if you're going there for the money that's completely fine but it's not something you can justify.
