Good evening everyone!
I'd first like to thank you for your time and feedback ahead of time. Please skip to the TLDR if this is a bit long. This is my first post and I am writing this before I go to sleep so I'm hoping I have some good responses when I wake up
. I've completed Unscripted and I'm working on The Great Rat Race Escape currently (yes, I'm reading them out of order, planning to read The Millionaire Fastlane afterwards). I'm currently a Junior in college with a major in Business Administration. I have a couple of entry-level cybersecurity certifications currently, and I am working on a much more prestigious one that will take a good amount of time to achieve, it's called the OSCP. I have experience running a couple of small businesses in the past, and I've since stopped doing one of them in order to free up time to think of things that are more scalable. I had that realization while looking at the charts and graphs provided in The Great Rat Race Escape which I'm currently reading and am very grateful for. I'm trying to figure out the process, mindset, and acquire the knowledge I need in order to become a successful entrepreneur so I'm glad for being able to read a lot of posts so far, and I plan on continuing to do that.
TLDR: Anyways, enough backstory about me, here's the questions I currently have:
Is the ROI on getting a good paying job (say 6 figures) after investing years potentially in studying for the OSCP worth it in order to fund future entrepreneurial endeavors? Is it smart to pursue a career or is my time better spent focusing on developing a business and/or looking for opportunities?
Please give me a shove in the right direction! I know I should be trying things now. I have a few ideas, and I know I don't necessarily need much capital to get started, but I do need a job to sustain myself especially out of college. Please feel free to rip into any bad mindsets I may currently have that I can't see. I'm not sure if I sound like a money chaser, but as I was typing everything I realized I probably am currently but I'm extremely willing to work on changing that. I found these books earlier this year so it's been a big mindset shift for me and I'm still working on figuring everything out!
Thank you in advance once again.
