Your Tomorrow is Dead
When I was a kid, I fell in love with science. My father was a chemist and encouraged our love of science. And when I dropped out of High School and went to university (yes, I’m a high school dropout with an MBA) I had dreams of getting my PhD in Physics and do hardcore research into how God’s Creation works.
Three years into my physics degree, God dragged me out of the physics department and plunked me down into Geopolitics and War. He did not need someone with a PhD in Physics, but God did need someone who understood why nations decide what they have chosen to do and why they go to war. I’ve been a lifelong student of war, so it was an easy fit.
Two years later, I graduated with what most would call a worthless degree, unless I wanted to join the Deep State. And yes, the Deep State did eventually reach out to me and ask me to join them. I politely said “No”, and went off to Asia to do evangelism. But that’s a different story.
Looking at my worthless degree, I realized that I needed something useful. So, I got my MBA in finance. I loved every bit of it - except that accounting course I had to take. Wow do I hate accounting. Something in my brain just doesn’t want anything to do with it.
Some time after graduating with that MBA, I went off to Asia to do evangelism in 1992. Specifically in Jerusalem. I learned Hebrew. I worked for an offshore investment firm, first as a financial advisor and then as a mutual fund manager. Eventually, I got sick of the corruption I was dealing with and got out. You have no idea how corrupt the finance industry is. Trust me on this.
