Does anyone else genuinely love Banking?

I love what we do. We play a vital role in our nation’s economy. I love the title “banker”. I’m proud to be a part of an industry that’s as old as human civilization. I’m proud to work at a global institution. Yet all I see on this site is people talking nonstop shit about banking and how it’s pointless and we’re paid too much and blah blah blah. I fucking love what we do and can’t imagine myself doing anything else.
