  Where in the world did you get the idea that banker = better than teacher? Can you even attempt to compare the jobs?

  1. Its not necessarily true that bankers are paid more. What do you mean even, by "bankers"? There are many variations in jobs with that kind of taxonomy, if any, you gave.

  2. Job is less stressful?? Where again did you get that idea? Bankers, whatever you mean, are well-known to be amongst the worst offenders in slogging.

  I doubt you even know what Economics is all about. It is a hugely general subject that deals with resource allocation. 

  Financial Economics is just one branch.

  Heck, where did you even get the idea that Economics = becomes teacher?

  If you study physics, you become a physicist.

   

  If you study art, you become an artist.

   

  If you study economics, you become an economist.
