Burn-out? That's one problem I don't have
I don’t know whether I should be envious of Goldman Sachs interns or sympathetic towards them. Sure, they are on a fast track to wealth, power and privilege but it’s an awfully daunting gauntlet they must run beforehand.

I would have to be taken from my bed at gunpoint and frogmarched under armed escort to my desk if they wanted me in on a weekend. There is no way on earth I would ever come in of my own volition. I get a nosebleed if I’m at the desk after 5 o'clock.
