Enough of hard labor for peanuts, I think I have enough experience and skill to start something meaningful. What would be the best age to start a business? 20s, 30s, later??? What age would you pick and why?
Office politics consumes half of a work day and all the energy

I’ve figured 3-5 years is max one should stay with WF
More than enough to fatten up the resume. Anything beyond comes with diminishing returns. The time before your skills and experience become a burden has been progressively shorter. There’s always cheaper and more convenient replacement. You can be... — read more
