are most people who work on Wall Street rather wealthy?

and how do you get into a high place? Is being a sociopath a bonus?

Some combination of intelligence and connections. The allocation between these two looks different for everyone.

Just about any university that offers an MBA will be sufficient. Make certain your course load includes at least 2 semesters of ethics. This is a factor which is totally lost on many so called "financial advisors".

You go to the best schools, study finance and hard math/sciences then apply and go through their training programs. It isn't rocket science, but they do take the most motivated and highly credentialed individuals. You aren't getting a job on Wall Street with a degree from a community college.

you have to know someone,,, connections
