I loved getting my M. B. A., and I really enjoyed being an accountant and financial analyst before I quit my day job twenty-five years ago to write full time. I just liked writing more…plus, I knew even then that as a full-time writer, I'd get plenty of chances to do business-type stuff, while as an accountant, I probably wouldn't get a lot of opportunities to write about dragons.

About This Quote

When you have a dream, you should do anything and everything in your power to achieve it. M.B.A. stands for Master of Business Administration and this is the highest degree that can be earned after completing your studies at university. While this career path requires you to work hard every day, with the end result being a starting salary starting at $60,000, there are many upsides to this career path with an average annual income of $125,000.

Many people choose to pursue their dream but most would agree that working hard is not enough. If you want to make it happen, you need to look for opportunities to take advantage of them, otherwise you will never get there. I’ve worked my ass off with no breaks for years now and finally I am where I want to be.

Trust me, when I tell you I’ve worked my ass off.I just like writing more than accounting and working with numbers is not my passion so I quit my day job twenty-five years ago to write full time.
