For someone with entrepreneurial aspirations, getting a corporate job is a great way to learn more about a business or a market. However, be aware it can be a trap. Getting married, getting a mortgage, having kids, may keep you trapped at the corporation until you're 52, you get laid off and your only asset is old irrelevant or proprietary knowledge.

If you're young, my advice is, find a way to OWN assets. Don't wait until you're 30 or 40 or 50. Start now! Don't trade your life away building valuable assets for someone else. Make sure you get a piece of what you are building.
