Waiting for Schadenfreude reaction

The author of this article is expressing her feelings about the currect economic crisis, but more specifically about the Wall Street brokers who got us in this mess in the first place. The author remembers that days that if you weren't in the financial industry in New York, you might as well have not existed. The author remembers a time when people who were fresh out of college wanted careers that would actually do good and serve a helpful purpose...until they got married, had families and realized that it wasn't financially possible. This article has a bit of hostility towards the brokers and members of the financial market, but I don't think hostility is unwarented.
