Would you rather start a business right out of college and get a small business loan or get a job and save instead of getting a loan but it might take 5+ years?

It depends on how quickly I felt I could be fully profitable and generate a good return. It would also depend on the terms of the loan.

I think it all comes down to the profitability of the business and what it would take to have it run on its own!

I would get some hands-on experience first before going into business for yourself

It depends on the business. Is it something that will be lucrative immediately or will it take time to start making money? Assuming you're also carrying some student loans, taking out a loan to start a business straight out of college is a pretty hefty financial decision.

Start the business. If you are thinking about it, go for it. Don't waste any time chasing those dreams.

Features are about the same but the more expensive option has nicer wheels so maybe that’s worth ~$2k. TIA

I have a return offer from a big 4! Thoroughly enjoyed the experience as an intern and have no complaints. Would love to go back.

However, a bit confused if I should try and recruit with MBB’s or if I should accept the big 4 offer already and take the sign on bonus?

Would it be a blunder to NOT try recruiting with MBB’s ? Besides the monetary aspect, what are the other things I’d have to think about?
