Lesson 2: Learning comes before earning, so take an apprenticeship.
The more you learn, the more you earn. – Frank Clark
Once you decide on a field, discipline, or skill to master, the best way to make progress fast is to take an internship.
Don’t focus on the money, focus on how much you can learn.
A job that pays more now will probably offer you less support and education, which will pay for itself 10 times over the road.
You’d be better off taking a low-paying job now that maybe comes with a great mentorship, which will lead you to excel in your field much faster than making all the dumb rookie mistakes and learning the hard way.
Yes, you should get paid to learn and create a win-win situation, but always know that learning has a much bigger ROI than being paid a bit more.
