what kind of company did u start?
Started with doing IT Consulting for small businesses, but diversified the business quite early. We are now into commercial real estate and researching environmental solutions for the manufacturing industry and its waste. I filed for my first patent last year. Working on my second patent in the coming year.

I sold the IT Consulting part of the business earlier this year, and am now hoping to follow my passion in finance before the rest of my like begins. Since I just graduated, I really do want to do something else and experience something else to make sure I am doing what I could enjoy doing well into the future. I love finance and am working towards my CFA and hoping to get into investment banking for a couple years. We'll see how that goes...

I just show up to work every day and hope I make enough $$ to pay for my 5'er every month. If the boss doesn't fire me, I'm doing OK.

Uh... Oh, I'm the boss.

As long as I don't fire everyone else, I'm OK (an can pay for my 5).

We create whatever the customer wants, and they probably didn't request it, or they didn't want to pay for it.
