Rogan Josh,
I used to work in more technical jobs and have a more scientific background. Now that I work in Finance, I've noticed that it is difficult to get the same joy from learning within such a grey field.
To understand Physics, you build a sound model, then use that as a building block to get to the next level. The hard work of fully understanding something complex yields greater understanding for years to come.
In finance, you learn something complex, but you can never know what the other players in the market will get up to, so you may never find the confidence to rely upon what you have learnt. Similarly, you never find out whether you have made a good call, because the market might just move a different way than it "should" have for any number of reasons.
The end result in Finance is that you always need to be ready to think on your feet and there is never any right or wrong.
To me, science is inherently more safisying as a testing ground for your mind. That must provide some consolation for you in your day to day work.
