What's the quickest way to readapt myself to that?
I want to be one of these people who watches those stock market indexes, is invested in the economy and is part of the human economic development debate. Right now I don't know shit but it looks exciting.

You have to understand that your expectations of finance jobs are very off.
Nobody actually like working in finance. People just keep their job for the social status and relative good pay.

But what they are actually doing by keeping their job is just enslaving themselves a little more until they realize that although they were well paid they couldn't afford much savings because they lived in very expensive places, and had a shitty life because of stress. They usually die young, at the end of a miserable slave life.

For interest, who are the people that rise above that slavemode work and enjoy their jobs in the sector? The entrepeneurs, I imagine, but what about the CEOs, financial journalists, the people that sit on financial markets panels and debate... do they all hate their jobs in reality and are just money-chasing? How does someone working in finance avoid being the equivalent of a boringly-paid code monkey?
The main reason it's perking my interest is I'm tired of being poor, and human development I find interesting and exciting. Not many other fields are as relevant as the global economy.
