Hi, so I am new to the forum. I thought I might as well do an introduction, as this place seems like such a valuable community to be a part of, and I'd also love some advice.

I'm a nineteen year old guy, and after one year at university I don't see myself returning. Too boring, felt like I was wasting time, my heart wasn't in it. I really just want to get out there.

Mid this year I really started researching how you can be an entrepreneur and live a life on your own terms. I read and finished the Millionaire Fastlane about a month ago.

Here is the situation. I have been offered a sales job that has long hours, but I should be able to make at least 80k US in the first year, that starts in January.

After reading the contract and thinking about it, I am just not sure. I'd love to earn an income doing my own thing online, copywriting, affiliate marketing, or whatever else, with the eventual goal being to earn a great income from writing novels.

I guess what it comes down too is do I want to take a slowlane job that has some fastlane aspects too it, or try jump into the fastlane with no large savings to back me up.

What would you do in my position?

I appreciate all advice and criticism. I just want to make the right decision. Thanks for reading this over.
