Corporate Finance is just how to effectively manage a company’s financials. You need a lot more than that to be a successful entrepreneur. You have to have a good idea with demand for your product.

I'm not specialized yet, but I always thought that lecturer at the University I graduated from after ~7-10 yrs in corporate world would be great. Lecturers earn ~$100k (ish), get to interact with new generation of students, give back/teach what they know and if the University is chill with it, basically create whatever course content they want (as long as it makes sense). They also have leeway to set their own hours (teach x, y, z days and then mark/create content any time outside of that). Outside of that, I personally loved the anatomy of Atomic Habits because it was written as a practitioner guide or reference manual than an academic approach to habits. If I get experienced enough, I'd like to write something like that surrounding Personal Finance (for Young Adults) at cost. 

 

I would also love to go back to university and teach some subjects that interest me and in which I wouldn't want to go extremely deeper (getting paid for researching). 

Do you need to have a Ph.D. to be a lecturer? As I understood, getting a spot in academia is extremely competitive at top universities.
