Years ago, I was advising the "entrepreneur club" at a major university and I met with one of the students. He introduced himself as "president" and we chatted and talked out their Vision. A week later, I met with him and another member who introduced herself as "president"

Slightly confused, I asked if they'd just had an election. Nope. Turns out they called their members "president" which looked great on their resumes.

I was impressed they gamed it so simply.

In any other context, that'd be at least a little slimey. But here, with these budding grifters? It's downright admirable.
