Questioning my decision to go into finance. Why did you pursue banking? Legitimate answers please.

Hi peeps,

You may be thinking another post on same bullshit or person who cant handle this industry, but have been legitimately questioning my decision to go into banking lately and really want to peoples thoughts on why they decided fo break in.

To give you some background, I go to a semi target school and have networked heavily past few months and spent months trying to prep for banking interview, but some of this stuff in depth honestly has been difficult to comprehend and absorb and even in addition to that, realizing during my current IB internship that not sure if I will be able to catch up with all the excel and PPT skills and of course the modeling skills. Yes it sounds like I am a bitch but on the border of stopping recruiting even after meeting with people in person and submitting applications and studying the techs as I am worried I wont be able to catch up. This was a tangent rant but I have also started to question my decision to initially go into banking. I initially chose to break into banking without any previous finance background, not quantitatively skilled at all, cannot multitask for shit. But can work long hours given the work ethic I have even thought I have room for improvement. But chose to do so not because of money but simply for prestige and the exit options it gave.
Curious to hear why you decided to go into banking other than money because starting to question if finance js the track for me if money and topic of learning or business is no interest to me even though I have the desire to learn.

To senior bankers or even younger ones, any thoughts or inputs?

Thank you WSO as always.
