> Even when you factor end-of-year bonuses into the equation, an entry-level I-banking job pays about as much as Google or Facebook would pay an engineer.

Problem is programmers entering Google/Facebook are most often programmers who studied CS in college. Many graduates entering Wall Street are science(physics,math,chemistry) and engineering (non-CS engineering) majors.

I wouldn't mind not having enough programmers working for google/facebook but I do mind losing science/engineering graduates to finance jobs when instead they could be learning the ropes in other vital industries.
