I'lll be finished with my business degree in May.
I have no idea what I'm going to do afterwards but I know I want to eventually start (and grow) my own business.

I also doubt that I want an office job.
But I also don't think I'd like to work in construction - I was an apprentice electrician and I didn't like that.

I'm not expecting to start and run a business tomorrow..
I just want to get started in learning a skillset/business that I could eventually start a business from..

Most successful guy I know started a business doing IT for schools.
Another runs an accident recovery business.
Hardware stores.
Lighting equipment

I just don't know where to start

Are you into blue collar or white collar work? You could always learn a trade and work your way up to owning your own business in said trade then eventually become a big time contractor if you play your cards right

become a firefighter

I don’t know your living situation but if you’re living generally comfortable, you should take some risks and do some serious trial/error and learning as many skills as possible

Honestly wish I did this. Seems like a nice gig

It doesn't seem you even know what area of interest you'd like to work in. I think figuring that out should be your main focus.

I think blue collar but not 'wind hail sleet or snow back breaking work' if that makes sense.
I worked with my uncle who's a carpenter (fits kitchens) found that tough going but okay.
Can't say I'd like doing concrete - for example.

But honestly this is the route I'm thinking of going down.

Nope no clue.

Like the guy who does accident recovery just wanted to work with cars, he was an apprentice mechanic, then a taxi driver and then drove a tow truck and went from there..

But I have no clue, other than I'd like to work for myself, I'd like to not be stuck behind a desk 24/7, I'd like to work with my hands but I'd also like to not be disabled with back pain when I turn 40.

Honestly my living situation is I'm 24 and living with my parents, they're nice though, I'm very fortunate to have them behind me,

I've been thinking of just taking a leap into something like floor refinishing, painting contractor - something with a low skill floor

Carpentry is an amazing skill to learn. You can monetize it and it’s useful for building things in your own home. I feel you though, I don’t think you’ll regret this in the long run.

Like I said, learn as MUCH s*** as possible. Dabble in everything. Lots of people feel lost coming right out of school so don’t feel bad about it

Living with your parents while you establish yourself is a cheat code. Take advantage of that for sure and don’t take the leap until you feel established in your skills and career

biggest thing i can say is dont feel pressured into leaving your parents house quickly if its a good environment for you

Take advantage of it and save your money

It sounds to me like the trajectory of your career is looking up
You’re doing what you’re supposed to do

Can’t stress this enough

onlyfans from here bro

ask your most successful friends for advice

What others are saying itt. It’s ok that you don’t know, especially since you’re still at your parents. Take this time to try different work that you would want to start a business doing down the line. That way you can find something that works for you.

One piece of advice I have along the lines of not wearing out your body —- it doesn’t have to be right away or even medium term, but have an “exit plan” in terms of stepping away from the physical work once you’re running the business. You’ll obviously have a lot of experience at that point so might be inclined to help out or push on deadlines, but you need to have a time where you step away from any hands on work

How did he make his own company for school IT?

I thought districts had their proprietary IT people?

I’m three years out of a business degree and still lost

I’m from Ireland so our set up is a little different.
He started it back in 08, he was working in IT for a large MNC and his wife was on their kids school committee (unpaid, just a thing to keep people busy), said they needed laptops fixed and she said ‘oh my husband works with computers he’ll do it’ it went from there

Word of mouth plug still undefeated

@op Just go for carpentry for now. Just do something to stay employed and keep the money coming in, and look into internships or network in the meanwhile. You already got the hard part (the degree) out of the way, so you've got opportunity.

it's surprisingly competitive but one of my friends has been one for about 5 years and loves his job.

those wildland firefighters though that s*** is another level of difficult

same
regret getting a business degree lmao

Yes I’ve heard they have some of the highest job satisfaction. Great benefits too. Also didn’t know it was so competitive but I guess it should be when you’re dealing with peoples lives

Them wild land fires the ones that spread faster than they can put it out right?
