Are you working in the SLOWLANE specifically to gain FASTLANE skills?

[Blue Lion]

Jobs are slowlane, we all know that. However, some jobs CAN be really beneficial to give you the necessary experience/contacts/industry knowledge to start a fastlane business of your own.

For me, personally, after working in Finance for a couple of years, I am now trying to improve my skill-set and knowledge by moving to a sales job in large ecommerce company, that is opening a new office in my city.

My thinking is, that this type of role will be greatly beneficial to improve my sales skills and understand the ecommerce business model, as I plan to eventually launch my own ecommerce business in the future.

I'm interested to see if any of you out there are doing something similar, by working slowlane jobs in order to gain necessary skills, contacts and market knowledge in order to start up your own ventures in the future.

Also, for you members who are currently in the fastlane already, if you had to go back, and work for someone else, what type of job would you do?
