>Where did you study?
UNL (BS) and EPFL (MSc), US citizen wanted to try a master's abroad.
>What did you study?
Electrical engineering at both, focused on photonics for masters.
>What are you doing now?
At a top 3 ranked (EE) uni in the US for my 1st year of PhD focused in photonics. To be honest I should have stayed at EPFL or gone to ETHZ because now I have to take some courses again, get paid less, and will probably take a year or more longer than it would have been.

Wilderness Medicine and Philosophy dual major. I'll be able to make enough money to continue my education, perhaps get a major in mathematics and then pursue some master's or PhD. University of Utah. Currently working in sports medicine at an Olympic winter training non-profit. To be quite honest, as far as education goes I still don't know exactly where I will go. All I know is that money is a minimal issue for me- not because I am wealthy, but because I don't care too much about being wealthy. I just want to learn man.

Sorry, I should have clarified what I meant by Wall Street. I mean I would like to work at an investment bank, hedge fund, etc. and it was easier to just categorize it under "Wall Street".

So not specifically on Wall Street, as we have offices here in the South as well, such as Houston, though some students made it out to wall street. Goldman Sachs, J.P. Morgan and many other IB's recruit from UT, as well as various hedge funds, VC and PE firms.

Based on your post though, I'll definitely give attending Columbia and NYU some thought. I still need to visit NY before starting the grad school application process though.

Dude, can you please tell me how is it living in Zurich?

I am very interested in transfering to ETH Zurich but I have no idea about costs of living there and average money requirement other than the costs for university itself.

I've looked at many reviews online but some say it is shit, some say it is good, some say cheapish, some say expensive as fuck. What am I to believe?

Depends, really. There's been an influx of semi-decent IT jobs in Croatia with paychecks slightly above average, providing you get accepted; the requirements often looking like "must be proficient in [4-7] programming languages with min.4 years of experience". They expect you to be a jack of all trades, but most are okay with you learning as you go.
With masters, the odds of finding a job are more than decent, if you just keep networking and stay active in your field.
