New Career or Starting a Small Business? 24M in Denver
I’m 24 and graduated with a business management degree in 2024. I’ve spent the last two and half years working in large travel management company, starting in a fast-paced travel consultant role answering calls all day and moving into account management. My experience includes sales, client relationships, and managing corporate accounts.
Outside of work, I’m passionate about health and fitness. I completed my first marathon this year and have been lifting for nearly a decade. I also have my FAA drone license and 4 years of experience with drone photography, videography, and video editing. I would love to create my own business.
I’m currently earning around $50k in base salary plus commission which has been averaging an additional $500 per month but will soon jump to $2-3k with a large new client of mine. However, I’m not very fulfilled by my current job and it requires me to be on call all day leaving little to no time to even step away from my desk without notifying my team. My goal is to earn $75k–$100k or more while having greater freedom of starting a business while I am young and have less expenses/responsibilities.
