Nidal There is always a payoff between gainnig business experience in a field before starting a business or starting right ahead. i think whats important is developping the skills you need for your business, while some of those skills will come through working for someone else. Allot of it will come through trial and error and life experiences. What do you guys think about the topic? Is "business experience" necessary?

I have learned two costly lessons already. Although I am a quick study, I shall never forget those lessons.

@ Ted, I face this problem at the moment, i went into a field and realized that Its not the one for me, I am in it just to get some "professional" experience, I have decided to go into a different field. even though the professional experience has nothing to do whith the businesses i plan to start, and i see no value of such experience. Times are tough, and the luxury of being picky about where i would work does not exist at the moment.

however, surprisingly, Working for someone else has given me time to think about my plans for the future, and research thoroughtly the ideas i want to develop.

Janet Brent I have a very part time social media job if anyone is interested. I need someone to fill for me for four months. It's fairly easy money and involves updating twitter/facebook and blog writing.
