The biggest waste of time in my life was back in the day when I was working on my dissertation. I put a lot of effort into it and when I was finished I could not find a job in my field of study to save my life. I spent a few years after college as a salesman for a local car dealership.

Being a car salesman was certainly not what I was dreaming of when I was working so hard writing my thesis. I dreamed big and I figured I would quickly work my way up the corporate ladder when I got my first job out of college.

Thinking back to the time of when I was doing my research proposal, I wish that I had not wasted so much time in college. I now own my own successful used car dealership and I probably make a lot more money than I would have even if I had been able to find a job in my field of study.
