Hey all,
I'm a first year engineering student up in Canada. Got fired up about the whole save and invest for the long haul, compound interest spiel. Planned to invest and then reinvest my earnings, ad infinitum. After reading MJ's book I realized that there is much more potential, and excitement in finding your own path. This has led to a refreshing change towards thinking about what problems can be solved, what people need, in kind of a hierarchy sense in that I categorize ideas into low capital and high capital projects. Low capital projects being ones that I can pursue as a university student, and high capital being future endeavors. Nothing concrete has come of it yet, but I am hoping to gain some momentum from this forum.
All that being said, I highly value my engineering degree. I was not the biggest fan of math and science (classic high school student who echoed the "when will I ever use this sh*t???" mindset), but have drastically changed my perspective on that front. Ultimately I want to contribute in some way to a manned mission to mars.
My whole game-plan is based on my belief that working as an engineer will give credibility and experience for any future endeavors in the field, but I recognize that it is in many ways a cop-out that could turn into delaying action until I have the necessary skills (rinse and repeat).
Which is why I'm here. To connect with like-minded people, and maybe scrape some advice from those with much more experience and knowledge than me.
Anyway, just wanted to introduce myself.
