The dreaded question

Finally the question got popped. After a media frenzy which focused on the top 5 salaries in all the IIMs, even a veteran (after all 4 yrs is a long while in this age) like me was not spared. Got asked this twice in as many days. How can I work in a position like this for this money when people are getting $193000?


Just to clarify:

1. Never could digest Finance
2. Graduated in the worst possible year possible when the market was in the dumps (after all,you need to blame something other than oneself)
3. Dont relish working 70-80 hr weeks
4. And incidentally, just happened to be part of the rest of the 'normal' folks in the IIMs

However, if anyone has a job to offer with as much money and 1/10th of the working hours (ok..40hrs it is), I am yours to employ... :)
