"Think of it like being in training for the next gig."

Amazing way to put it. I'm 25 myself and this is the only reason why I'm still working for my big corp. Payed school.

The other thing is, "working for my big corp" should teach you a lot of things, including useful stuff for a startup. With much less responsibility (e.g. you're not worried about making payroll), you have the luxury of observing and thinking about it.

This is my plan as well (also 25). I want to learn from some of the best so that when I'm a bit older I have enough world experience to build something myself. Sure I could build all sorts of apps now, but that is only fraction of the work that goes into building a sustainable business.

I used to think life was a race, but I'm really enjoying the growth and learning parts.
