I’ve gone back to my old high school three times to speak to students. Each visit came from my high school history teacher, the person who first got me interested in real estate. He asks me to teach his classes about personal finance and to tell them how my career has gone.
The talk covers what I wish someone had told me at their age: how to budget, save and think about money early, and how I went from managing a McDonald’s and running a small business to becoming a Senior Financial Analyst at a Fortune 500 company at 22.
Most of all, I go to show them that you don’t always need a college degree to build a good career.
If you’d like me to speak to your class or group, get in touch.
