"Don't go to college if you have a 980 on the SAT"

Got straight As in highschool and college, but BOMBED my SATs and never went to a great school.

I wanted to be an investment banker or a management consultant and rake in the big bucks. Obviously didn't get there. BUT, I continued the grind.

Today, I work in financial services. make as much money as someone at the same level in IB or Consultancy would make, work 25-30 hours a week (as compared to 60+ in either of those careers), and just launched my own business. This year I've been to 6 countries already. Last year I did 15. I'm getting old...

Your SATs don't matter, and your school is only your entry point into the professional world. After your first job, its your network and attitude that matters.

Hustle on, my dudes!
