If you were to become a doctor, you'd study chemistry, biochemistry, physics, biology, etc before you ever got into the specific stuff.So while still taking action, we should all aspire to be experts and professionals in our area of study, just like professionals in other areas.

I'm a noob myself and have similar aspirations.

I could probably finish a business degree (finance) in 2 to 3 years and my thinking is that it will help me make the contacts I need as well as the tools I need to be a successful entrepreneur.
