idk dude i didn't email anyone i just sorta applied and enjoyed uni. Got a few offers so took the best one. Feel like there's alot of us who just sorta end up in the industry somehow.

had a buddy who went from juvenile delinquent that used to pimp himself out for meth funds before becoming a vicar, relapsing, recruited for special intelligence before getting a masters and doing DCM shit.
