Life was made of choices. When Messi was in college, he had to juggle between his academic work and the professional football training. Different from most of the football players, Messi did a surprisingly good job in the college classes. He aced many math, computer science, and economics classes, so he seriously considered pursuing an academic career. Had Messi not chosen football, Messi would be in a PhD program at this moment. He would most likely to choose artificial intelligence as his major, and work on using AI to deepen our understanding of the economic system. For example, AI can be used to improve productivity, and mitigate the vulnerability of the economic system. Messi would be interested in developing algorithms on this front. Meanwhile, Messi would start to work on some entrepreneurship idea, since he is interested in changing not only the notion about the world in an academic sense, but also exerting impacts on the real world. He would talk to the Venture Capital people everyday to do his pitch - convincing them that his start-up would be next Intel, IBM, Google, Amazon, etc. He would earn the financial freedom at an early stage of his life, and pursue more ventures later. Messi would take on the management role in his start-up, motivating his peers to achieve a great vision.
