what are some easy divisions to get into?

Oh, I dunno about your second-to-last post. I have seen plenty of people get top jobs at top MC’s and top IB’s with what are basically, bull**** degrees. Some also manage to get themselves admitted to top law schools, because law school adcoms are grade-oriented, and it’s very easy to get top grades into those bull**** classes without doing very much.

I once knew a guy who had a paper due on Friday, so on Sunday he started reading the book so that he could write the paper. No - not the Sunday before it was due. The Sunday AFTER the paper was due. And this guy didn’t get an extension on the paper, and had no excuse that would have allowed him to do the paper late. He was just a lazy procrastinator and decided he wouldn’t do the work on the paper until after it was already due. So he read the book, did the paper on Sunday night, handed it in Monday morning, and still got an A-, and the only reason he didn’t get an A was because it was late. It was one of those bull**** classes where basically, if you wrote anything semi-coherent, you were going to get a good grade. He now has a cushy banking job.

The point is that, unfortunately, gaming the system can work. I don’t like it, but it’s true. Some people really do get rewarded for being lazy.
