When you're starting out, you need to focus on learning rather than earning. Now, he obviously earned, but it was because he quickly fast tracked his learning process. And so I think one of the biggest hacks in the world is getting paid to learn. Like right now we have this big societal context of like you pay in order to learn. But what if there are a world where you could get paid to learn? Well, that is what working at a company is. If you're mindful of what career path you want to get into. Now, if you're like, I don't know what I want to do, then I would recommend starting with a meta skill. So sales, if you learn how to sell, it'll work in any company. If you learn how to market, it'll work in any company. I mean, to be fair, if you get into HR, zillion businesses need HR stuff. If that's what you like. If you're like, I don't know what I like. Well, you also aren't going to like anything unless you start, because we usually only like things that we're good at, and we usually aren't good at things that we start. And so the only way to get good at something is to do a lot of it. And when you start, you suck. And so a lot of the time there's this fallacy of finding the right thing or the perfect fit.
