Need advice, not sure if this is the forum to ask this in.
I'll be graduating from college next spring with my degree in International Business Management. Through my friend I'll probably have a chance to get a pretty good paying job at a local company. Around $50kish a year, plus benifits. Its hard to pass up a nice steady paycheck at this point. Its a good job, and if I wanted could turn it into a good career.
But I want to work for myself, here is what I want to do. I'm currantly starting my own real estate development and holding company with my uncle. However I think its going to take 3-5 years to really be profitable and liquid enough to the point where I can live comfortable off it. (IE pay myself $50k a year)
Here is what I am thinking, please give me some feedback.
A)
1. Take the job, and do just enough to get by, live on that money. I want to move out and its going to cost me to do so. Heck rent alone is going to be $1k a month from one of my uncles places. I'll also owe about $15k from school which I want to get paid off ASAP. $15k is pretty good though some of my friends have $100k!!:smx4:
2. Keep building the company, and insted of taking money out of the company to live on, re invest 100% of the profits.
B) Just build the company full time. However I think this option has a few draw backs.
1. Getting loans with no income is hard.
2. Being flat broke sucks, its no fun. This option will assure that for a few years.
3. I'll have to use some of my profits to live.
I'm thinking about going with A. I work now and go to school so its like having two full time jobs. I don't really see any problem with doing it for 5 more years. I'll just drink more!:smx6::smx6: My good friend is going to med school so by the time he is out and making $300k a year I should be right their with him, lol! :icon_super:
