Stuck in the rat race

[Dan Pezzano]

I've been working at a university for the past 5 years. I was fortunate enough to to get a job there right after graduating (from a different college) with a BS in Business Administration. I started as an admin coordinator. Initially I thought I had made it and was going to be moving up in the ranks and receive a great salary because I did what I was told: Go to college, get good grades, and get a job. Plus anything beats waiting tables as I did thru out college. Fast forward to today and I've been doing the same type of work (admin support for faculty) with a small increase in pay and a title change. I've learned that in this environment hard work only leads to more work. I recently got my real estate license to increase income and then by fate my friend turned me on to BP which led to Rich Dad Poor Dad and my mindset has been altered. I now realize that I am not a student and thus really have no interest in the higher Ed field but am a damn good "employee". I understand I am fortunate to have the opportunity to get a Masters degree but like I said, I'm not a student. I am stuck. I do not want to do the same mindless work anymore and want to create wealth and financial freedom. Any thoughts? Thanks.
