Hi guys. I am an 18 year old first year in California. I have always had an entrepreneurial mindset, since I discovered eCommerce in high school. Now, I am working a part time job for about 16 an hour, and going to school part time completing my Business degree. I am worried that I may be headed into the slow lane. I do want to finish my degree at the least, to make my parents happy, but I have a feeling after college my current mindset will fade. Everyone I know, family and friends are planning on securing a 9-5 wheelchair job. What are some ways you guys remind yourself where you want to be in life, or ways to keep the fast lane dream alive? Thanks in advance. -Nick
