Hey all,

Don't jump immediately to the fact that "NO..a higher education is definitely not fastlane!!"

I understand that and I agree completely. Esp if it results in more debt. I'm not looking to use higher education as a way to advance my career, but more for the following reasons:

1) First, PhDs normally don't have tuition costs, so I won't be in debt. Actually, I manage my money well enough that I virtually have no on-going debt (besides those monthly credit card bills).

2) I love to teach. I love to make an impact and influence on those around me, for the better. I think it is especially important to impact minds at a young age. I run my own blog on helping ppl live a good life of achieving their dreams and constantly self-improving. I don't make money on it, but I don't know if I'm allowed to post it on the forum since I don't have enough post??

3) Getting a PhD in Entrepreneurship, while I'm sure it is super intense, it'll give me time to constantly educate myself with new things. It'll also help me network and build relationships with successful entrepreneurs. In addition, I can use the application of what I learn into my own current projects, as well as future fastlane ventures.

4) While I'm learning, I can continue to work on my projects to get on the fastlane.

So if any of you have experience in getting a PhD or have words of wisdom, I'd like to hear your input on this. MJ, it'd be cool to hear your thoughts as well.

Thanks 😀
