Summary
We know that it's worthwhile to increase income in order to reach our financial goals more quickly. But how can we do that?
One proven way is to get advanced education by attending graduate school.
My guest today is Matt Miner. He followed the time-worn path of attending graduate business school as a way of significantly increasing his earnings and he's learned from that experience. He's also studied the issue extensively, so he brings both personal experience and study to this question.
In this show we discuss:
- Matt's personal path to improved finances
- His advice on how to answer the question of, "Should I go to graduate school?"
- Various options and ways to get the thing done!
Enjoy the show!
