Hey! Thanks for agreeing to get coffee. I know you\u2019re busy, but I\u2019ve got 20 meetings today and a p-set due tomorrow after my 4 interviews, so I could only just squeeze you in today. Thanks again.<\/p>\n
(I stand up and shake your hand.)<\/p>\n
(You try to end the handshake but I prolong it a few more seconds.)<\/p>\n
Ha-ha! That\u2019s the stuff, a good firm grip will take you anywhere, y\u2019know. Anyway, I wanted to let you know that I, an economics major, am passionate about finance.<\/p>\n
I know! Wild, huh? Me, a 21-year white guy wearing a ghastly salmon shirt I paid too much for, passionate about finance? Bet that\u2019s a real surprise. And boy oh boy let me tell ya, this ain\u2019t no ordinary passion we\u2019re talking about. This isn\u2019t some silly little passion that sets your heart aflutter, paralyzing the body with the ecstasy of your undertaking like those geeks in TAPS have. No, I\u2019m talking being vaguely interested in a set of skills that will allow me to work at an East Coast firm for exactly 4 years, 1 month, and 16 days before I earn enough money to buy God and spit in his mouth.<\/p>\n
I know what you\u2019re thinking, \u201cPassionate about finance? How in the heck did a handsome straight shooter like this young stud realize he was brought to his knees by the supreme ideal of finance?\u201d Well lemme tell ya, it\u2019s because I\u2019m extremely passionate about reinforcing my family\u2019s status atop the socioeconomic food chain. High five!<\/p>\n
(I go in for a high five.)<\/p>\n
I know that passion is what motivated the greatest artists, activists, and martyrs of all time to risk everything in pursuit of a sublime achievement, and lemme tell ya, I\u2019ve got that feeling for the act of selling savings accounts to an overseas trust fund for a modest commission. Unless it turns out that it\u2019s hard, then I\u2019m probably passionate about politics or white collar crime or something, I dunno.<\/p>\n
(I check my Supreme x Apple watch.)<\/p>\n
Ah shoot, I gotta run. Time is money, ha ha, and I could always use some more of both! Anyway, I\u2019ll see you in the basement of a frat sometime! We should get lunch! Or coffee! Alright! See ya!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
