Just wondering, how do most of you find the motivation to stay up the countless hours upon hours late at night?

My initial motivation was that everyone in banking has done or is currently doing it, so stop being a freakin sissy...

However, nearly 8 months in the job now...i guess the message isnt sinking in anymore.

 

I am a sophomore and have a BB internship lined up for this summer. The reason I am transferring is because I am worried about high level politics that could cripple my chances as an MD, etc. I'm not willing to take that chance, however small it may be.

 

all of you are the lamest people on the planet. get a fucking life. any underclassman who's thinking about his MD status has got a stick so far up his ass that it's probably got a stick up its ass. please, for the sake of the human race, castrate yourselves right now and spare the world of your freakish offspring.
