I used to work as a waiter in university. I now work at a hedge fund

Waiters
>looked down on those below them in the restaurant hierarchy (bussers, dishwashers, line cooks) and were down right rude to them
>complained about wages constantly
>worked maybe 35 hours a week.
>took a few vacations a year and bragged about material possessions
>average age 40

Traders
>respects the interns and even invites them out drinking
>works 70 hours a week
>personal wages isn't really a topic of conversation
>no one really brags about vacations it's kind of seen as a low class thing to go on vacation
>average age 28

Really interesting for me to live both sides of the coin.

you don't accumulate capital for yourself.
you accumulate capital for your fund.
