Note: I'm still kinda drunk & its 1 in the morning + I just took some benzos so pardon the incoherency of the post...
I haven't visited this website for awhile, but anyway I am in college right now and looking for ideas/recommendations on how to leverage the possible opportunities that a degree would give me. So far I have been working on dual majoring in business and one of the life science(s). This will take me 4 years instead of the original 2-3, so I will be about 22 when I graduate. Originally I would have been graduating about April of 2009, but I hated the classes and decided to fuck off for a quarter since I had been going to school non stop for 2 years. Would it be weird if a 20y/o had a BA already? The main reason I decided against this is that getting into business school requires job experience, and I don't really want to work at all until I have some sort of degree and can [hopefully] make a decent amount of money. So I have decided to stay in school longer and get into the life sciences in addition to my business degree. Hopefully this will take me to graduate school, but I don't know how that "game" works. I will be graduating with $0 debt but still being kinda poor. Would I be able to get a bunch of scholarships and get most of my grad school paid for?
Ok, now with all that explained presently my goal for the next few years is to complete the above and make about 500k or so while helping improve humanities' body of scientific knowledge, I'm not completely randian in that sense after all;). After about 10 years or so I think this would be possible. This would then be transferred offshore to grow like crazy so I would have 20k/yr in passive income. I could even get citizenship in a country that does not tax their citizens overseas earnings thanks to my ancestors. Then I would do whatever I wanted (as far ahead as I feel like planning at this stage). One other thing: I dislike children, so a gigantic $ sink never exists, I also will just get a storage locker for my stuff, a house costs too much w/ government stuff here in the us of a.
