Career Paths Besides IB/Consulting/PE

I will be interning at a BB this summer doing IB. Despite hearing all the stories about wlb before and during recruiting, now that it's about to become my reality I'm already scared that I won't like the lifestyle and it won't be sustainable for me. 

What are some other career paths that offer a good salary out of college (around $90k), still gives you some good exit ops, and has reasonable hours (50-60 hrs per week)? Does anything like that exist? 

I've heard some things about Microsoft finance program and similar programs. Anything else to be aware of?
