This entire 1%/99% meme is kind of irritating to me because it keeps talking about income rather than accumulated wealth.

Income isn't the same thing as wealth, inherited or otherwise.

That being said, I-banking, medical specialties, and NYC BigLaw strike me as the best career tracks for the money oriented, with medical specialties offering the most security.

The key to the 1% is getting on, and staying on, a high-paying career track.

Math majors probably have to be hedge fund quants (or medicos) to get into the 1%. Art history majors get a plum job with the family foundation?
