Low pay, long hours, hard work... these are what we give up in response to having a job in an industry that doesn't have a lot of dynamic change, job insecurity or layoffs.

I have to disagree, it may be hard work, but the pay is good, and I have "banker's hours"!

What do you mean, no job insecurity or layoffs? Guess you haven't been thru a merger. Banks are constantly merging and people are losing their jobs, some who've been around 20 or 30 years. Fortunately I kept mine after the last merge, but I saw a lot of good people go.
