Hi everyone,
I am generally new here but have been in the game of self-improvement for years. I am currently in top finance programs in Canada and was on track to pursue a career in Investment Banking or Asset Management. But after doing some serious reflection, it came to my attention that I do not want to have to work 80 hours a week in a high-stress but well-paid job (130K). My current dilemma is that school is extremely expensive, and I will be going into debt (~50k) by the time I graduate. I've read fastlane and currently reading unscripted . I am trying to figure out if doing Investment banking and using all that money to pay off debt and have substantial capital to start a business or to work in Wealth management and make ~70k but work 40 hours a week. In terms of starting a business, my best friend's father owns a vast and successful health company, which he will take over after school. He said he would commit +1m if the idea is good in terms of starting my own business; his father and he have also mentioned that they are looking to create a new health company and are considering that I will be his son's partner on the new company with a (70-30) ownership structure. Given I have extensive knowledge and this industry as we actively discuss business and it has been an interest for me for numerous years through sporting and living healthily.
I know this is a long post, but I am at a severe crossroads and would accept any general advice or guidance.
Thanks.
