I ended up out of school working in a field and role I wasn't happy with, so after saving half of my salary for a year and a few months, then I resigned. I started a marketing agency with two friends, we had the business model down but two of us were not good at sales and the one that was had a life issue occur and left. We were cash flow positive the whole time just not enough to support my two friends as I wiped out my savings. We all learned a ton though. Around a year after, I did a career switch to SWD and am currently retraining.
I would do it again if I had an idea that legitimately solved a problem. We created a marketing agency knowing how to run things as ICs but not as owners. I'm not sure I'd want to sell a consulting service again but maybe another type of business. I've always been interested in WISPs and Real Estate, so maybe something in those areas.
