Which way is the job market going and what skills should one build to be in demand a few years from now?
There isn’t a single “best” job that makes you an entrepreneur… it’s more about the skills you pick up and how you apply them.
Sales teaches you how to generate revenue and handle rejection probably the most entrepreneurial skill there is. Mark cuban and i both started in D2d Sales and thats the only time i get to lump myself into a category with him haha.
Marketing sharpens your ability to tell a story and create demand.
Consulting exposes you to different industries and ways of solving problems.
VC/analyst roles give you pattern recognition around what makes businesses fundable, though it’s less hands-on.
Where the job market is heading: adaptability, tech fluency (especially AI/data), and customer-centric problem solving are becoming non-negotiable. If you can sell, lead teams, and leverage technology to solve real problems, you’ll be in demand no matter what the market looks like a few years from now.
I also echo what so many others are saying on here that the first steps you should take if you are ready..is to start your own business and just learn along the way.
have always loved the quote: "the best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago..the 2nd best time is today"
