Good point!



What a small world. I worked for RM for 3 years. All the while I was listening to entrepreneurial podcasts like Tim's and many he influenced. The thought of passive income is what lead me to permaculture and sustainable systems to begin with I left RM to start a small leather company. It felt amazing jumping into the unknown, but I was a bit too wet behind the ears.

I'm starting to plan for a family and when I look around there's no way I can provide the same quality of life for my kids that I had as a youngster. I'm definitely motivated to invest in myself, and that's why I'm drawn to this site. Half of my issues with college previously was the blatant waste of my time and money.

Drawing back on my childhood, my dad and I would go on bona fide archaeology digs for fun. I've been kicking around getting a masters in anthropology/archaeology for that very reason. It'd be a good mix of hands on and critical thinking along with a changing environment.

I don't know whats right for you. I might suggest that when faced with your decision, I opted for the cheapest bona-fide MBA I could find...this meant the hospital couldn't discard me with the "doesn't meet minimal qualifications" brush off. I used their money to get the darn thing, learned very little, but put the initials behind my name...then went out to find a promotion, it worked. I sometimes think about completing a history or writing MA just for fun and to maybe one day teach, but the dream isn't strong enough to make me move towards it. I'm a lot better off now..,for whatever that is worth to you. I keep my paramedic and Critical Care from UMUC up as my just in case fall back plan. (actually need to get my CEU hours done before the end of the year).
