Accepting my BB offer

OK this is the post where everyone can hate me...but I need inspiration.

After summering at a big BB I got an offer. Really though, the hours are grueling and while I liked the job, the hours made it so I didn't want to go back.

I have now interviewed with a bunch of other firms, always got to second rounds, and then rejected at the end. So, I've accepted my BB offer.

So why is banking good? Why should I think that "this isn't so bad"? And yes, you are free to hate me.
