<p>[QUOTE="Vegas Vic, post: 1902129, member: 58810"]Josh. First I like that you are reaching out not standing still. You have to take risks in life to get ahead and I see you doing this. I really like and respect that. However I think the problem is that you are most likely not in possession of a university degree yet are talking of opening your own university. I have been using this site for less then a year but have found there are some really knowledgable people on this site. I think some of them are taking exception to this particular risk you are taking because they have literally been collecting or dealing coins longer then you have been alive, some even double that. There are few fields in which a 19 year old is prepared and knowledgable enough to start teaching. I was considered young at 29 when I started teaching on the side ( not coin related). </p><p><br /></p><p>I'm not here to make you feel bad. Like I said I'm impressed that you are trying. My advice is to start smaller.instead of a university just focus only on creating your first 1 hour coins 101 lecture. Take your time and get it done right. You like history I would include the concept of how tpg has changed the whole industry. But whatever you want to talk about spend a lot of time getting this one lecture done well. From there make your second lecture. After a year you might have 4-5 really solid lectures/online classes. This is a project that you will likely get little help on so be understanding to the fact that this is most likely going to be 90% or more you and you alone. </p><p><br /></p><p>This is going to be the journey of a thousand miles. I want you to take the first step but I also want you to be wearing comfortable shoes so you can survive the march. And if it means anything to you I had a significant amount of negativity in my field that I had to overcome. Trust yourself and always follow your heart.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
