Never Get a “Real” Job: How to Dump Your Boss, Build a Business and Not Go Broke
After getting out of college, Scott Gerber had to move back in with his parents because of his student loan debts. While his mother encouraged him to “get a real job”, Gerber decided to use the last $700 in his bank account to start a business.
The company, called Sizzle It makes short promotional videos, stayed frugal and became profitable within a year. After paying off his student loans, Gerber decided that his experience could help other young people living in a time with a daunting unemployment rate:
Gerber’s now written a book called Never Get a “Real” Job: How to Dump Your Boss, Build a Business and Not Go Broke in which he challenges the social conventions behind the “real” job and empowers young people to take control of their lives and dump their nine-to-fives—or their quest to attain them. Drawing upon case studies, experiences, and observations, he dissects failures, shares hard-learned lessons, and presents practical, affordable, and systematic action steps to building, managing, and marketing a successful business on a shoestring budget.
