PhxMJ, why did you have to work @ dead-end jobs ? And

[Graves]

And what would you have done differently if you had to go back to that time ? ( why did your businesses fail in the first place )

You said your college friends had decent middle class jobs, so it surprised me you had to work dropout & graveyard shift jobs.

I would rather avoid ending up in that situation so I'm asking

Also if anyone of you was in a similar situation please share it - although this question emerged from rereading the fastlane book, I'm looking for advice from everyone.
