Start ups are my life. I think can I cover my basic expenses. Where can I make money from it. After that do I trust the rain makers to do well and can I contribute. I've started 3 companies. 2 did well 1 did not just never got off the ground. I work for a start up now and it's secure enough.

This isn’t a confession so much as a rant. I recently left my job (communication manager for a national franchise-corporate). The workplace was toxic and I was severely underpaid. During my time there I worked closely with the owner of a small (two employees) marketing agency. Essentially, I was poached by this vendor. I began work with them today and from the moment I walked in the door I was verbally abused, manipulated, and humiliated. *rest in comments*

I have a degree in horticulture with lab experience.
