The Ultimate Exit Opp

I know everyone talks about how they're working in IB for the ExitOpps, so I figured I'd share my experience and how I got mine.

Growing up an only child, I never really had much interaction with children (I was educated by private tutors my whole life), so I really wanted to give back in some way or another to children. However, I was also obsessed with finance, and wanted to get into banking so I could make the money to provide for my family. I was also ridiculed by others for my size (at age 12 i weighed 319 pounds) so I thought making money would be a great way to shove it in people's faces. Even growing up, nobody really knew who I was, they only cared about my father..Tony Perkis Sr, The Lighting Fixture King of Western Pennsylvania.

Where am I going with all of this? Fat Camp. I purchased a Fat Camp in an attempt to help children overcome their weight issues. But i'd be lying if I didn't intend to turn a profit and make it the greatest selling weight loss infomercial of all time. Needless to say, the idea took off when I bought a fat camp from an old couple who declared bankruptcy. I brought in Germans to help run the camp, and institute strict discipline into the children, including the ever important Body-System. I even had to cancel lunch from time to time due to a lack of hustle. I forced them to climb 500 foot rock faces with only their bare hands and feet, and set up dances with the Girl's camp across the river to show them that they needed to make a change in their lives. The point of all of this was to eventually reach the Apache Relay against Camp MVP and win, for the first time in Camp Hope's history.

I call it the Perkisystem, and if it worked for me, it can work for you.

Please feel free to ask me any questions about exiting banking and entering into other exit opps of all different backgrounds

rpcasDo you make the Germans wear military uniforms of a certain, special kind?

of course..all my employees wore matching Perkisystem Uniforms..the campers also wore them, but their parents were billed automatically
