Should the “Best and Brightest” Go into Finance?

IMO - the 'best and brightest' people should focus on making things, fixing real problems and generally doing good. If they make lots of money whilst doing this, then good on them.

There have been some interesting startups emerge in Finance Services, which look to be doing real good, but for the most part, it currently seems to be full of people skimming of the top to make a quick buck.
