It sounds like you had a really bad experience, and while I don't doubt it I will say that not everyone in finance is like that. I worked for an outfit in Greenwich for three years straight out of grad school and the people were really nice. I have a cousin who works for a hedge fund, and he is super cool (buys antique math books!). I also have a friend who works on the Street and hates it, but he's also a really nice guy.
