She chose her job to feel human. Yes, it isn't on the same level as people who have no other life to choose, but she still feels that Kara Danvers is her life. Her losing her identity as a reporter would be losing who she is.

With the whole "Superman defense". He didn't work for a government agency and reveal to people in that agency of her identity. So the President knew that there was a secret identity to blackmail her with. Same with Haley. I agree, that was a mistake. However the resulting actions she performed with the mind wipe was the best case to make. Because even if Alex left, and they just mind wiped the others. Haley is still on a war path for Supergirl's identity and loose ends outside of the agency would just make things worse. So Alex's mind needed to be erased to keep Haley at ease. Only problem with the whole situation is how stupid Haley is for not realizing that Alex doesn't know info she clearly did before.

I don't like One More Day, i just like some of the retcons done in Brand New Day. Which i think is a good way to handle explaining to the audience about Alex's current memories.
