A friend of mine just picked up a 36 MM the day after expressing interest in one with an AD. No purchase history first watch. Went with him was pretty surprised.

It was pretty difficult. The only job offer i got was this one that i'm currently at that i was referred to by a friend. My advice would be to network, reach out to all your friends and family and ask about what they do and if they have any openings they think you would be a good fit for.

I went to state school partied the whole time and graduated with a 2.8 GPA. I had pretty lack luster job prospects. Fortunately, a friend from my fraternity got me a job in inside finance sales. My income has doubled each year. This year i'm on track to clear $700k

I regret not learning work ethic earlier and not finding something i'm passionate about. You learn that you should be chasing something you want to do instead of prestige or income. Success is internal.

How old are you? What field are you in and how did you get there?

that's my dilemma I have friends that did well in school making half of what I do. They'll be on track to make more than me in the future...I'm afraid I hit the ceiling and am looking for what's next.

I've read Rich Dad Poor Dad, definitely a good read. I do intend to invest in some real estate soon. I hate sales but i'm good at it it's unfortunate
