I got a lot of BS answers to this question when I wanted to be an investment banker. The only reasonable answer I got is that it's a low-risk way to make a ton of money. Instead of risk you give up your life and/or health.

"low-risk"..."give up your life and/or health"

I think "more guaranteed" or "higher probability" would be a better way of describing it.
