Before my MBA, I felt stuck in a narrow lane. Afterward, I was able to pivot into a better-paying role, build a network I still lean on, and feel less “scared” of switching industries. The debt is real, though, and I only feel it was worth it because I had a clear goal (career pivot + higher comp). How has getting an MBA worked out for the rest of you?

Just finished my degree in managerial science and have a minor in marketing and a Sales certificate. Have had 4 different management jobs. Just accepted an opportunity as a district manager for an Insurance company. Not 100% sure about Commission-based only. Would love to manage in the sales world, and would love to travel on a weekly basis. Any advice or am I aiming for something unrealistic at the moment?

Say I put $1k into a stock, it doubles, so now I have $2k, can I withdraw my initial investment of $1k without paying taxes or does this still create a taxable event? I’m concerned since I technically sold my initial shares for a profit but I didn’t sell for a gain above my initial investment.
