I have read the book and it changed me instantly. At one point I had to stop reading it because it was so overwhelming to me. I was well groomed into the slowlane. The importance of having a degree to find a well-paid job in the future made me pursue a career in finance because that granted at the time the best probability in finding that job. My choice was first based in the factor and then something I felt had to learn because I wanted to understand finance news and all the finance jargon. My first job was at a big four auditing company and let me tell you I was miserable. I was overworked and underpaid. I felt trapped from all those hours that I had to be present. I would arrive home at 10 p.m. at night, call my mother and start crying. I was reaching a point of depression but hell calling it quits and admiting to failure. I staid and eventually got fired. Which was even a bigger failure that took me a lot to overcome. I eventually figured things out and I am on an above average paying job in finance but I still feel trapped and more than ever I feel robbed in my time. TMF made be creative and look for other solutions but the time at the job and a 4 year old make it difdicult to pursue other endeavors. So this is what I am trying to over come at the moment.
