If You Could Go Back…(Baller Question)

I'm a first time poster on the OT but love reading all the different topics…anyway, I've got a question for the high rollers:

If you could go back and know what you know now, what would you do to make it big (again)? I'm in my midish-twenties, have a college degree, married, and own a home…no kids yet. I'm open for WHATEVER.

What kind of work would you get into with the hope of one day owning your own business and making cash?

1.) Home builder? Go work with actual builders and learn every aspect of it before trying it on your own?

2.) Lawyer? Go back to school and get into the tite/real estate side of things?

3.) Insurance sales? Everybody needs it! Home, auto, life, health…learn the ropes and try to own your own branch?

4.) Rental tools business? Big companies don't like to buy their tools, they like to rent. Knock for knock clause. Learn the business, see where its needed, break out on your own?

5.) Something oil field related?? Any oilfield service thats needed? I don't know much about whats needed on a daily basis or what is at a shortage out there? Figure that out and go work for that company, learn the ropes and try on your own?

I figure I have 3 three years to learn the ropes of a certain field, gain the knowledge and then take a swing on my own, but some guidance from the ballers would really be appreciated!


Send me in the right direction. I don't mind hard work AT ALL especially with a vision for the future.

Thanks again!!
