Hello,
Thank you guys for this forum. I just got done reading Fast Lane. It was an enlightening book and I found myself saying "yes!" many times during it. I want to start this post by saying I am not complaining in any way about my life. I have been very fortunate and make a great salary. This life however is not what I intended it to be.
I am an emergency physician 2 years out of my training and I am thoroughly a member of the slow lane. My wife is finishing her training and we are moving home (upstate NY). We are shackled by an almost insurmountable amount of student loan debt (~$1M).
I have always been business minded and wanted to pursue a finance degree however was misled by my parents and peers that pursing a medicine degree was the better option. 11 years of training later and countless hours of work I feel completely duped.
After 12 hour shifts of constant stress in the ER working rotating days, nights, weekends and holidays I am away from my family more than I ever anticipated.
I desperately have always wanted to own my own business and the freedom that entails. These days with the pressures at work and out I find myself trying to think of new business ideas and coming up short. I know these are just excuses but sometimes it is good to rant.
I will join the fast lane somehow I just don't know how at the moment.
Again I am not complaining about the opportunities I have been given.
Thank you for listening.
