I'd like to work for someone successful

And how did the successful person become successful? By getting out there and trying, failing, trying, failing, trying and finally succeeding?
Or by being handed everything?

Methinks you'll appreciate it more and learn more if *you* are the successful person that you learn from.

Excellent advice.

I think that if you intern with someone that needs help and is sincere about teaching you that you could learn a lot. I was looking into different investments to diversify. I normally always have at least one or two non-adult things going on and cash is always good. I’ll even do this for hobbies like my farm here. I raise tilapia in pools. I actually worked at a local fish farm 4 days, busted my ass but he taught me a lot in a short amount of time. I would have made some really costly mistakes and I also dialed myself into his network. He’s happy to answer questions or add my food order to his larger order. When I first approached him he thought I was nuts. I told him I’d work for no pay if he let me see how it was done and answered some questions. Let me tell you, its hard ass work. It’s a great hobby but tough business.

I’m not sure you can do that in adult, especially today. The climate is changing so fast and to be honest I’d really think about starting up new in this business right now. I’d hit the resource sites, learn what you can and heed Carries advice.
