Yes, new college graduates, please do not be seduced by the idea that you can be employed by a company that will pay you to learn how to do something of value.

Instead, take everything you have (inexperience, limited funds, lack of domain expertise, etc.) and invest it in making "something."
If all else fails, which it most likely will, join a startup, ideally one filled with a bunch of other young people trying to learn how to make "something" too.
- volandovengo 13y agolol. well put. i do think there is wisdom in joining a startup run by veterans out of college. at least then you get the experience in running a startup. if you join a big company, you get educated in the skills needed to succeed at a big company, which unfortunately are very different to the skills needed to doing something on your own. i do like his quote though that it will take about 10,000 hours to get good at anything...
- joonix 13y agoNo, just Make Something, it will Take Ten Thousand Hours, but remember, Startups. Study those who have Made Something, and then copy them by Making Something of Your Own.
