I have no actual operating experience in business.

After my exam was postponed for the 349874th time due to this pandemic (it's now in Oct, but I don't want to keep studying)..

I would like to start my entrepreneurial journey NOW.

I have been doing some reading, and thinking..
The idea of buying a (small) business (I'm not greedy) to get some actual operating experience seems more ideal to me at this point than to try and start something from scratch.

IDEALLY, I'd like to be someone's apprentice and work for them as a manager just to learn the ropes, and feel out the business for myself and see for myself I'm getting what is advertised.

Where can I get a deal like that?
And anything I should be aware of in particular before I dip my toes into something like this?

Thanks!
