Stress of internship versus full-time

Hi all--during many of my friends' internships and my own past experiences, we faced extreme levels of stress, and was wondering if any of you can compare your full-time experience (when actual money is on the line) versus the stress of being a BB/boutique intern where every day is stressful due to the uncertainty of offers and the "interview" feel to the day-to-day. Is banking just that stressful, or is full time work in your experience less of a mind game?
