Entry-Level Positions For Aspiring Entrepreneurs

This will be a short one because there aren't many options, but you could try interning for someone, like you're doing now with a startup. I'm sure there are plenty of entrepreneurial minds there.

I think that's a good way to start where you are right now, because you're probably learning a lot about how to be an entrepreneur. So, I guess there are some entry-level options. I would intern at a startup in the field that you want to pursue.

I think college is a bit of a scam. I don't want to scare parents who want their kids to go to college, but for me, sending Jackson to Oregon will cost $240,000 over four years. That's a scam. What are you really learning in those classes that's so valuable?

If you're going to be a real estate agent or work in sales, do I really need to know about the mitochondria of the cell and all the biology they're teaching? The book knowledge from classes or learning about the War of 1812 isn't worth $240,000.

I'd rather spend $50,000 to find an expert in the industry and tell my kid, "You want to do this industry? I'll pay that guy $50,000 to teach you."

With that said, I think the college experience itself is extremely valuable, and I would want my kids to have it. I had a great college experience and loved it. That's where you learn to grow up, live with people, do your laundry and dishes, hash things out with roommates, and learn to budget.

There's a lot you learn in college, and you learn how to grow up, which is extremely valuable. The knowledge itself isn't necessarily so valuable.

Getting into an area as an intern is really great for learning what you want to do. Then, when you go out on your own, you'll have a better idea of how you want to start. I just don't like the idea of starting for any old company just to get a salary. I think what you're doing is smart, and I would recommend interning or working for someone for free just to learn what you want to do.
