I had to recite the first stanza of the Canterbury Tales prologue from memory to get my English degree. 3 years later I work in Finance and I can still remember it.

When I was in the military, it was helpful during personal fitness tests. You need to hold a plank for 3:45, and I had a long poem memorized and I would think it to myself to make the time go by.
Fuck planks, I will never do a plank again by choice.

I had to memorize the first stanza of the Aeneid in my second year of high school. I still remember it now.

How did you get into finance from an English degree? How much do you make?
