I am in my early 20s and in my first job.This thread is eye-opening.I am gonna pay my loans,quit the job and build (or start) something.I didn't know if it's the right thing to do.But after reading this thread,I feel like I am in the right path.Thanks to everyone for sharing their thoughts.

I'm also in my early 20s. Don't quit your job. Your job is stability.

If building/starting something doesn't work out then you'll be in a bad position.

Build/start something on the side, then if it becomes successful you can safely quit your job.

You might also find inspiration, collaborators or opportunities from your job. It's not all bad.

Thanks! I am building something on the side and I'll quit my job only if the side project gains some traction. Also finding a job is not that tough in my area.

I am glad you are attending to your calling, but do take time to analyse everything - pros and cons - before making any rash decisions.

Yes sure! I don't have any responsibilities at this age.So there can't be a better time than now to try things out.We (I) have the energy ,time and "freedom" required to do something crazy.I might lose some time and energy but there can't be a better time than now.So we (I) should keep building things and learn a lot.Many millionaires wish they started earlier[1].I already regret wasting my college years.So I don't wanna "miss out" this time.Thank you everyone for your advice
