Hey,
I'm 16 now and have started up a bunch of smaller businesses that have mostly failed, I've turned up a profit on the internet and have been really successful lately and even surpassing my friends who have part-time jobs. I was debating whether or not to go to further my education after high school and I've decided I'm going to.
My area of choice is Information Security! Why you ask? Every business and there mother is getting hacked, I've noticed a huge increase in the need for information security specialists and I figure with the right education and industry knowledge I can start my own consulting business eventually.
I do plan on working the 9-5 for a few years, I know some people here says working the 9-5 is bad and a lot of people think they're to good for it and I somewhat agree.
If you're working the 9-5 blindly and just doing your job and not thinking about the things you can improve on in the industry and how you could make a better company then the one you're working for that's bad.
I plan on going to work everyday and looking for things I can improve on in the industry, looking at the business I work for and figure out how to make things run smoother, make new security tools and etc.
I know we're talking about years in the future but I'm 16 and it's good that I'm writing this all down to hold myself accountable when I'm looking through this 5 years from now.
What do you guys think of my plan?
