Horror Story from the investment banking world

I will tell you a story that is sure to give you chills about a young investment banking wannabe who had no skills. He graduated college and thought he'd do well, a 3.5 GPA seemed quite swell. But this is a horror story with no sweet endings after months of applying his will was bending. Six months had gone by with no reply so he took a job in accounting he thought he'd give it a try. Over the next five months he put up with all the shit, working in accounts payable was so boring he decided to quit. Fortunate for him he landed a job right away but little did he know much about a data analyst's day. He worked and worked for months all alone but quit once again as he felt like a drone. For the next three years he worked five month stints and when he reached for his wallet he found nothing but lint. Fast forward three years to 2018, he's now homeless living in his car without a friend to be seen. On top of all that you would never guess whats next, the real horror of this story, its been two years since he's last had sex. Wondering around without a path in sight these are the horrors he lives when he goes to sleep each night. So to sum things up and wish you all well, don't be fooled by mediocrity or one day you could be living this hell. ; ) Thanks everyone!
