4 Days in bali, it wasnt so bad, I came to bali all alone, only to visit my mom, yeah end of the summer vacation, its all good, I thought it would be my last vacation to Bali, I love Bali, I plan on going there once again before I make a leave to the US, this time, not alone, with friends.
Well in Bali I did meet a few friends, friends that my mom introduced, it was all good, We hung out, went there and there and here and here, and I met my mom's long time friend, she met mom when they were 5-6 years old, WOW! thats friendship.
Well mom's friend, she has a bf, and his name is Douglas MacDonald, or we call him, Mr. Doug or just Douglas, well Douglas is an awesome guy, he's Scottish, and he lives in London, he owns a Racing Company for Reynard, Circuits and Car Building, go see The MacDonald Partnership. Douglas is 49, he's old indeed, but still very active lol, Now I'm telling you, the kind of job he has, is my dream job, managing business for an automotive company, now thats awesome, and the kind of money he makes out of it, I'd say impressive, so we talked about it, we had a drink and chilled, and I told him I am planning on doing Engineering for College, or something like that, I know Engineering is pretty much Math and Mechanical Theory, but the kind of Math I would enjoy, and once I enjoy something, I get really good at it, Now I asked him a simple yet important question, I told him, once I'm out of College, how do I start making big bucks?
His answer, well if you want to do Engineering, thats all good! Do what you like, but to do something that you like you have to support it, so Support it with another Degree (I was amazed...oh my goodness!) So I told him are you talking about double degree? He said "No" I want you Calvin, to do more than that! The key to sucess is mastering the "circle", What he meant by another Degree is Finance, you support Engineering with Finance, with Finance, you know "money" with Engineering you know "skill" Skill + Money manage = Sucess, now if you'd like I suggest you go and take another, "Law", I was like "wow...o my goodness", When you are sucessfull, Law is what builds it up, If you master all of these, I guarantee once you reach the peak, you stand among the crowd as a rich person, I really suggest, Calvin that you do Engineering, its all good! With that degree you can make a good living, but I'd like you to support it with finance, thats how you solve the question.
Douglas did more than just 3 things, he mastered everything, He did Accounting, Law and Finance, and he owns bussinesses around the world, Be it England, South Africa, and he plans on doing another in Hong Kong, and his life, well you guess...and its a Racing Business, its awesome...
So thats what I plan on doing, Engineering would be my first priority in College, then when there's a Door in front of me, I'd go and unlock it, May God help and support my life, He has been good to me!
Bless!

Ahaa.. .finally more options in the comment... :-). Well.... I pretty much agree with him - that's why most engineers would take MBA, combining engineering in the business world. I was thinking the same, perhaps you can go into automative and business at the same time, if you are much into car - I can see you in those fields ! One step at a time.... need to keep your focus... otherwise it's easy to get distracted. We'll be here to make sure you stay in focus... :-)....
