Quick question re: VC email question

My long term career goal is to establish a venture capital fund that invests in job creation across Africa.
Given that pursuing the VC route straight after b-school is challenging, especially in the current difficult environment, does it make sense to suggest 2 paths in my career vision essay? For
instance, one of my mentors suggested development finance as an alternative to gain valuable contacts and expertise in investing in Africa.
Could I suggest both the traditional VC route and the alternative dev finance career as short-term paths in my essay? Or would this lead to the perception that I am an unfocused applicant?
Thank you!
