Rising sophomore looking to recruit for banking next sem. Should I take ridiculously easy classes?

I can change my courseload to have nothing to do with finance. Do recruiters see courseload/care about it? Why would I not take minimum credits and course difficulty to prioritize the time I can give networking---should I switch my course load to the easiest classes at my school?
