Listen, i think you guys are trying to assume too much regarding my situation.  How do you get that i'm rich or entitled or whatever?  That's assuming waay too much on your part.  What do you know of the demands of my time?  There's only 24 hours a day, and my work was taking up 13+ hrs/ day not to mention a new born daughter that i never got to see during that time because of some new regulatory issues that were imposed on us to report on last minute and 2 key people leaving my group at the same time. 

The becker lady was confident about the subject, telling us where we should go and all that jazz, so we asked if we could leave it in her hands.  For me, individually it would be easy to assess, i went to UofT got way more credits than necessary.  But alot of my colleagues had degrees 20, 30 years ago from like U of Gujarat, India...it's not so cut and dried then...i mean, you got a faded transcipt from an institution that likely will  take 5 years before records are found if they even exist anymore and copied to you.  I'm just a little guy and went with the flow.  There was a VP and an EVP taking it with us, it's just the way they operate...they don't do admin stuff.  It's not being an ass, they have more important things to do than that - like running a bank.
