shite I made twice that last with a couple of crews of rednecks running directional boring machines beside and under roads. My MBA came from a much less reputable school so I never qualified for the prestige of IB, and the corresponding pay cut. These people signed up for this, no sympathy here. One thing I notice about ivy leaguers is that they must be paper pushers. They could never do anything else.

I majored in petroleum engineering before the crash of 2011 (still a LSU fan for some reason) and then got lucky as shite and transferred. M&A is bullshite but they don’t deal with the volatility that you do, no? More like create it.

By the way, I’d prefer to be 1 month on and off on an oil rig in the gulf than be stuck pushing documents. Thanks for doing something good for society.
