OH!  You're one of "those" people...  Now I finally get it...

I guess here is perhaps more of a financial capital than 
Tokyo.  Japan is (somehow) synonymous with "working to 
death", but that's nothing to what the financial banks here 
do to their staff.  Every once in a while, I hear of someone 
who "had enough" -- usually around their late 20s or early 
30s -- with the financial world.  In short, they say what 
you just said.

And they leave it behind to do something more "worthwhile".

Unfortunately, there are heaps of young people that are more 
than happy to take their place.  And they can't deny that 
they did make money during their time with that company that 
had no social purpose...  I can tell by where they usually 
live and/or drive...  :-)

Good luck with whatever you need to do to put that part of 
your career behind you...
