sounds good to me, personally, don`t want to go into i-banking, but want to pick up the analytical skills for self-trading
Here`s the story about why not?
NB: Not having a go at `want to be i-bankers`, it`s just something i became acutely aware of for people with children.
I have kid(s), and the wife is an international school teacher. All of the children in her school are from high flyers (International assignments, ex-pat packages etc.) She teaches 6 year olds. Recently, they were given an assignment to write about their heroes. Most of the wrote about their mother or father. The most noticeable thing was that the children who had parents who were both i-bankers, consistently wrote that their heroes were their nannies!.
The other noticeable difference was in behaviour patterns of some these children, in particular how attention-seeking they were around their parents because they see them so little. The children are all bright and clever and well cared for but they lacked parental support. Lastly, the parents themselves were not great parents. Often asking the teachers to give extra activities( e.g. Homework) for their children, e.g. trying to hand down some of the repsonsibilities of parent-hood to the teachers (e.g. reading with your child is important way to build up reading abilities and an excellent way to bond with the child) so that they could have more time to do whatever they wanted. The most annoying aspect of that, was that they would ring us up during SCHOOL HOLIDAYS and ask my wife to set them homework!!!!
I must stress that this is mostly the case where both parents were i-bankers, or 1 parent was an i-banker and the other worked long hours too.
I`m sure a lot of these parents felt a little guilty or upset when they read their childs `heroes` story and realised their children identified more with their nanny than they did with themselves.
