Better to learn a monetizable skill first or go straight into entreprenuership?

[Mr.Rob]

I'm 24 I have a long life ahead of me and although I'm pretty eager to just start tearing into things and just build a company and spend all my savings to fund it I can't help but wonder if it might be wise to take a year or two first to learn a monetizable in demand skill that I can do remotely and get paid enough to support my life if my business were to fail.

For example if I spent 1-2 years learning copy writing (I'm already a proficient writer) and build up a skill set I know I can fall back on if need be to make a respectable salary to pay my bills or pay off lenders should my future businesses fail.

I'd be 26 after doing this and then would have the rest of my life to learn business and build company's. If things were to ever go sour I'd then always have my skillset to fallback on and make money instantly if I were to fall on hard times.

Whereas if I went straight into business building right now and fell on hard times I might have a lot more stress to deal with and have to take a job I'd rather not take and possibly get stuck in.

What is yall's take on this?

A rational consideration or a weak excuse not to start building businesses NOW?

-Rob
