It has occurred to me on more than one occasion that I may be too old for all this school stuff. The problem is, I love learning.
I am in the final semester of the MBA program at UAF. Currently I am employed in Fairbanks, Alaska as a Finance and IT Coordinator which is one of those confusing titles a financial analyst receives when they are promoted in a small town.
In addition to work and school, I own an LLC with my wife which I launched to augment her home business. We have focused our efforts as a 3rd party seller on the Amazon platform and were delighted to pass six figures in sales in the first full year of operation. We have experienced 30+ percent growth in the two subsequent years since. Additionally we have a few rentals and hope to acquire more as time permits and the market behaves.
It might seem like this takes all my time but in truth my favorite thing to do is spend time with my son. I am an assistant coach in the Eclipse Soccer Academy and spend a few nights a week enjoying watching him play and learn.
Attending UAF has been a truly enriching experience and part of me (not my wallet) is sad to see it come to an end.
