What a quaint view...
If that is what you are really thinking, it probably means that you are not really very good.
Like I said, you never worked in the business
Back in the late 1980s, when Quants were creeping onto the trading floor, they were treated like shit
then, the craze started over quantitative modelling and they were treated like shit you can take advantage of
Post 2007, Quants are treated as DANGEROUS shit that need close supervison
If that is what you are really thinking, it probably means that you are not really very good.
Why would I want to do that???
Now, I get to risk other peoples' money
In my own shop, I would have to deal with irritating things like customers (sales people do that) and PR to raise funding etc. and actually have to do stuff real managers do like HR crap etc
