My friends in government stand tall
I chose academia
Answered its call
They change worlds
Command the floor
I trip over books
Always wanting more

Classes, meetings
Endless forms
Department storms
Policy norms
Rejections
Revisions, on my plate
A bright future
I anticipate

My friends in banking
Chase their gold
I walk halls, in quiet bold
They seek wealth
Their lives unfold
I'm rich in papers
Or so I'm told

My friends in consulting
Live with ease
I stayed put
With my degrees
Their life glitters
Fast and free
I debate theories, lost at sea

Classes, meetings, endless forms
Department storms, policy norms
Rejections, revisions, on my plate
A bright future, I anticipate

But between you and me
This is where I love to be
But between you and me
This is where I love to be
