    e.g. Accounting, Finance, Investment Banking, Risk Management.
    Better than Econ, imho.
    where is the best place to go to do them?

    How on earth can anybody tell you how much money you'll earn based on your degree? You could be a hard working idiot or a certified genius (or both!), this is such a bizarre question.

    LSE, Bristol, Warwick, Leeds Uni - Accounting and Finance
    Investment Banking, etc. - Loughborough, Cass

    Depends on what you want to major in.
    Sorry, but when were Leeds Uni, Loughborough and Bristol sought after!! They are not targets, neither is Cass for that matter!

    This is true, you'll have a better chance at making the big time by going to Oxbridge, LSE, UCL or Warwick

    Assuming you start uni at 18. By 25 you would be looking at being on around 100k a year, if you are good at it and can stick the stress/pressure. If you are really good, you would be on a hell of a lot more.

    You have loads of options regarding uni for S&T. What about engineering at Imperial, loads of them get into S&T.

    Year 1; £1bn
    Year 2; The total net worth of Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg.
    Year 3; GDP of America
    Year 4; Immortality / Global domination.

    You turned LSE down for Bristol?

    Bristol is just full of failed Oxbridge/LSE kids, no?

    I know one econ student at Bristol. He had to choose between interning at Goldman and J.P. Morgan this summer. I suppose it depends on how you define failure.

    I despise it when people rate universities based on an individuals performance. For goodness sake, if you're going to do that then my 20 something ranked uni would be up there with Oxbridge thanks to the run away success that is me. OK I lied, but the point stands.
