Internet made me lose my well paid job

    Hi guys,

    I would like to introduce myself and tell you a little bit about me, especially why I am here.

    I am Ferguson (well...at least online) and have recently quitted my office job because I have promising plans to break into the Internet business. One day, my company decided to promote me with a €40k/year+commission after just 2 months I was working there (and it was my first job ever after my degree).

    With a promising career offered in a silver plate, I decided to turn it down as I plan to be a serial internet entrepreneur. I have already a few things in place but I need to learn a lot, especially in terms of internet marketing.

    With this, I want to say it is nice to meet you all and would like to ask:
    "Would you have done the same?"

    See you around,
    Ferguson

    €40k is quite a lot of money and to start making that online it will take a very long time. You will have to do lot's of trail and fail before you'll start making that amount, unless you're very lucky. It would take an experienced person to earn that.

    To your question, the answer is NO. I would probably have found a more wiser approach. I know you must have been very ambitious and confident but you should have tried it in part-time. For someone who does not know what the term HTML stands for you have a lot to learn.
