Hi!
My name is Tom, I'm 21 years old, and am a senior at one of the top business schools in the United States. And currently, I am torn between starting out my career in banking or at a start-up (though I know in the future I want to have my own business).
My journey began my junior year of high school when my friend introduced me to "The Game" by Neil Strauss (an incredibly valuable little book in high school)...little did I know this would later lead to a hunger for personal development, which inevitably led to me stumbling upon Tim Ferriss's "4HrWorkWeek" during my sophomore year of college. Coming into college, I was on track for a career in banking, but somewhere along the road I got bit by the start-up bug. It got more interesting over the summer as I interned in NY when my friend recommended me TMF ...
Now, with only Thanksgiving break between the last semester of college, I'm trying to figure out how to proceed. There is the immense peer pressure of seeing all my friends get into top banks or consulting firms, and an urge to do the same; yet there's also a hunger/yearning to just do something completely different.
Not someday, but my aim is to have several passive-income businesses, as well as one that I dedicate most of my time to, by the time I'm in my mid/late 20's. I have several role models who've I've networked with, and I want to benchmark their lifestyle. The plan is to either start working on it right out of college or have 2-3 years of working experience/income under my belt and then tackle this. I've already started a blog, networked with a few people in the field, and have made it a goal to read 1 book in the related field per week and summarize my learnings. I believe this forum is incredibly valuable because it provides a channel of learning from others who are on the same journey, thank you MJ.
In the end, I want to make a dent in the universe.
Cheers,
Tom
