| This has been relatively entertaining. The one thing I'd like to say is that working for a start-up, even if it's 14 hour days and you're living in a one bedroom apartment with no furniture and no television and a broken refrigerator, is something that should absolutely be considered by anyone who intends to work in "business." It's equivalent to a doctor doing EMT work prior to becoming a doctor, nothing will hone your skills more or make you more capable to handle pressure like working at a poor start-up on the cutting edge with long hours.
Obviously, if you're in a position where you have financial responsibilities like some people (and I am one of those people), you'd want to get a lucrative position immediately. But the single best time to do start-up type work is right out of college, even if it ends up being a failure. I doubt anyone would disagree with me, but I wanted to throw it in here. |
