That's great. I have been in the Investment Industry for long to understand that money drives it, learning doesn't. I know more than certain colleagues, has no effect. They get promoted, they are rewarded, they become your manager, and tell you what to do, and then whatever you have learnt or plan to learn takes a back seat, you are forced to do what your manager wants you to do. This was in a bank though. Buy side is better, but risky, very risky affair indeed.
