Now I looked at a bunch of BB sites and they seem to have the same amount of divisions (maybe a little less). Now which divisions are the easiest to get a job with (that still pay good)?

Depends. If you have:

a degree in Human Resource Management...then HR would be easiet

a degree in Computer Science...then Technology would be easiest

a degree in Accounting...then the Financial Control Group or Corporate Treasury
