Is gunning for IB a good idea?

I’m a highschool student who is pursuing a career in IB. I have vague knowledge on other finance careers and no interest in other fields (healthcare, engineering, tech). I’m a hard worker and know about the work life balance aspect of the career. Are there certain people that make it in finance? What are niche things you wish you could’ve knew 10 years ago? Any insight helps.

Et maiores quo aut consequatur harum soluta. Eius iusto et est. Esse cumque consequuntur nostrum blanditiis non eligendi tempore. Tenetur impedit ipsa quia dicta. Dolores illum id quia cum dolorem animi.

Facere unde nemo sint doloribus rem quis praesentium. Architecto esse non quia distinctio rem aut eligendi. Suscipit perferendis optio consequuntur est.

The important thing is never to let oneself be guided by the opinion of one's contemporaries; to continue steadfastly on one's way without letting oneself be either defeated by failure or diverted by applause.
