My goal is to start my own business in the tech/internet industry. I want to find a job with the goal of learning everything I can and paying the bills, while testing out business ideas. I have basic programming skills, but I'm struggling to find a job with my lack of experience. I went through a 3 month code bootcamp to learn Ruby on Rails. I've spent 3 months applying for junior web developer jobs. I've had many phone interviews, but no job offers. I’m thinking about switching to sales in the tech industry.
My goal is to be a business owner. I do not want to be a programmer working for another company for the rest of my life. Part of me wants to get out there and hustle and sale, and part of me says "keep your head down and keep learning to code because you've already come this far."
My time is limited. Should I put my efforts into sales or programming? Which skill is more valuable for a future business owner?
