    Went there today for the first time (downtown Chicago). Was one of the most incredible things I've ever seen. Even through soundproof glass you could hear the roar of people throughout the pits. We were given a tour by a friend's dad, who was a Co-owner of one of the largest private futures & options companies around about 30 years ago.

    Has anyone ever been?

    I've always wondered how people can function in such an environment ;P
    But it would be pretty cool to go there in first person.

    they say the reason america is failing in the different areas of science is because all the best young minds are going into economics.

    I was thinking the very same thing! Literally everyone's yelling, and there are different hand motions for absolutely everything. It's unreal.

    Probably because science is boring and economics is where the money's at. ;D

    It was for my Investments & Global Economics class.

    I thoroughly enjoy giving, so if I ever did end up making my millions quite a lot of that would be given away. I still like to have purty things though.

    The only thing I'm wondering is why you keep posting hate on my thread? Go away.

    Shit, I'll admit to you right now that I'm going to major in Economics for some high bank after University.

    Yes, but, America doesn't give a shit if other countries "hate" them.

    On-topic, I have never been, but I plan on going to Wall-street this summer. Just to look at all of it, looks busy as hell, that's for sure.

    Sounds pretty intense, what a stressful environment.
