I would recommend checking out the Bob Malecki podcast on BP and also the Note MBA podcast on your mobile device (apple and android).  

I try to avoid writing lengthy essays. 

I'm 19 years old and I'm in college getting my BA in finance and eventually going to get my MBA.  

Fyi i went back to college 2 times after my BS in Mechanical eng for masters in mechanical eng and then MBA 5 years later.Now, i am saving lots of money where now its easier for me to invest.

How long it takes and how essay is to do it if you do not leave in the area? 

I have an MBA in Finance and I truly enjoy investment analysis and running numbers and am always open to different perspectives on analyzing good deals.

rhetorical of course, but certainly less than a 200K MBA.....
