"Education is an ornament in prosperity and a refuge in adversity."

Aristotle (ancient Greek philosopher, scientist and physician, 384 BC - 322 BC)

I have 16 years of formal education after high school:

College (B.S.E.E.) 3 years
Grad School (M.S.E.E.) 2 years
Med School (M.D.) 4 years
Internship, Residency and Fellowship 7 years

I was 34 years old when I got my first (non-education-related) job.

I think I am way too over educated...or am I?

In fact, my experience is precisely what Aristotle said ~2,300 years ago! How did he know?

My experience is that my education has served me well, fed my family, and allowed me to be of service to my community, in all economic environments. However, it can also be a reason for complacency and resistance to pursue greater things, the acquisition of which, will require I exit my comfort zone.

I have decided to resist complacency and challenge the confines of my comfort zone.

I will do today what others will not do, so I can do tomorrow, what others cannot do.

What about you?
