The Best Jobs for budding Entrepreneurs

[jamie2377356]

Hi all

I am in a place in my life where I know I am going to be an Entrepreneur, but need a job in the meantime to save money and learn more about being a good Entrepreneur.

I would like to ask what you think are the best jobs to have to learn about being a great entrepreneur?

Here are some examples:

-Venture capital job: always working with entrepreneurs
-Marketing job: whatever business you start you will have to know how to sell
-Assistant to successful Entrepreneur: learn first hand from someone
-Join a startup: get to know the process from the beginning


Any ideas? I know any job will provide some value, but what do you think provides the most?

Thanks

Hi everybody,
I am new to this site.I hope this site will help me to understand quickly.
I would like to say "hi" to all members,Welcome to the forum.

I started out in sales/marketing. It was 100% commission, but I learned a lot of great skills. Sales is the life blood of all businesses. Learn to sell now, and when you start a business getting that first customer will be cake.

The funny thing is I am working in sales again for my friend's dad's business. However, I set my own schedule and my success is up to me. Just like if I were running my own business. In the future, I plan on running my own business in the same industry, so the experience is awesome.

Start with sales..
My 1st job is sales..

Btw sales & marketing are both different items although they are kinda "married" to each other..

So a sales job differs from a marketing job..
