Initial thoughts

I am Paul Davis, a journalist based in North Carolina, who is spearheading this endeavor. After more than a decade of covering banks, insurance companies, and real estate developers, I came to a point in life where I realized that I should pursue a career in financial services rather than observing others.

I was accepted into Wake Forest University's evening MBA program this summer. This allows me the flexibility to continue in my career while taking courses at night. My continued immersion in financial services will only help me as I work with teammates and share knowledge and information. This blog will seek to chronicle my classes, professors and colleagues, and the overall experience of pursuing an MBA.

I cannot promise the cutting insight of a John Locke or a Milton Friedman, but I hope my unique perspective helps others as they decide if an MBA is the right career path to take.
