I think SoCal is a smart person, he just posts lam topics. Working in financial industry, expecially Securities, required really good skills.
SoCal, do you think I should make a career switch to Financial Engineering when I'm already doing well in Software and have no experience in Financial area. I really want to try but I don't want to start my salary from beginning again, because I'm already making really good now. How much do new graduates make usually, you know? Thanks.

You should stick with what you like to do. For me, I like what I am doing everyday. The other thing is regardless of how you make money, you should plant your money so that it can blossom into more money. Try to save $10, $20, $100, $200, $1000, $2000, etc per week and invest into stable good companies that pay quarterly dividends. Some examples are MO, PM, etc.
