Hello fastlaners!

Imagine the next scenario:

You're 20, read all of MJ's books, you have a clear view of how to avoid the rat worker life, you would like to start your own business but you are 2 pennies away from becoming bankrupt.

Is it a smart move to work with someone that already started a business and is doing great, letting them know your intentions, that you would like to learn from them how a business operates and simply gather knowledge.

Or is it better to simply work a random job that's paying better so you can save up some money and start your own thing, gathering experience as you progress?

Which route would you choose and why?

Thank you!
