Yes, there are a ton of hours. Yes, it is a ton of high stress work. But if you can handle it, you'll likely make very good money.

I write finance software... And almost everyone I know is in finance. You know how many people I've seen drop the industry completely? Again, just a bunch of people who think their going to be the next Jim Glickenhaus and end up working at their local Fortune 500 making $80k/year. It's like you're trying to argue that its easy to make $500k in the NFL, well no shit but do you know how hard it is to get into the NFL, and stay there?
