I've been thinking about starting my own business or at the very least getting out of the industry and getting a different job as I don't like the path my job/career is taking (not my personal career path I mean the field as a whole). The problem is I can't decide on what to pursue and would like some guidance. What businesses are most likely to succeed? Any business owners or others with guidance/advice? I have some capital and have no problem going back to school or learning skills that I don't yet have. What do you successful anons do for work?

>>6243527420 years self employed here (with useless degrees). Please don't invest much of your own capital. Long term self employed means you don't go to school, you figure shit out. Shit I figured out:Business success = Getting private and taxpayer funding to convert into marketing. Occasionally, you improve your product to not get sued.You better get into a new market with room for long term growth, like maintenance for robots they can't do to themselves in 2030, due to fire hazard or some other regulatory bull. Keep some financial flexibility, like clankers being allowed to go outside with a fire extinguisher to repair each other.Business will converge into automation in the next decade, so automate every new business away until you got a few hundred businesses that can pay for a luxury cardboard tent next to a freeway and the weekly vaccination against the new food ingredients.The best goyish biz in Europe is to know some local gov leeches who give some luxury long term contract to you (merit based of course).
>>62435274I'm a health and safety inspector in a post-commie country. My existence is guaranteed by the state as every employer hiring a certain number of people must have an inspector hired as well according to labour law. Although there are limited spots per private company, being good enough will of course make them take you. It's an engineering/law type of degree, a very weird mix that keeps things interesting as one day I'll be analyzing EU legislation, the other I'll be screaming at retards to wear their helmets, and the day after I'll be designing shielding elements in AutoCAD for an old machine that's not up to standard.I don't know if a parallel "loophole" job exists in your country though. It's kind of a weird relict of the commie past that made it into a capitalist system.
>>62435308Your mom goes through that many kneepads?
>>62435342Wouldn't servicing robots require specialized schooling and training, much of which doesn't exist yet because the robots don't exist yet? It is smart to take advantage of the coming automation though
>>62435381There are health inspectors, OSHA safety inspectors, etc. here too but their duties are more niche and require schooling towards what you would be inspecting. Of all the ones I met none were designing or implementing anything either
>>62436015So start an adjacent business that has minimal effort to get a contract with Hyundai once they deliver them. The training is for your employees, not for you. Do cleaning or logistics robot repair, for example, my instinct says to keep the B2C path open, even though the money is all industrial for the next few years. Also, the robots do exist, and get sent to companies already. It's just humanoids that are still rare, but AI task planning, object recognition, sensor synthesis, environment modeling, NMPC motion controllers, batteries, motors, artificial muscles, pressure sensors, it's all there already. The industry moves at light speed, and investment wise, the time to get in is now (or after the next crash to avoid the dotcom scenario).
>>62435274What industry are you working in?You're not going to like this but your best chance of success is to start a business in a field you already work in
>>62436182I'm a first responder, job pays decent and I get a pension but its rarely enjoyable
>>62435274>>624372141. identify key pain points in your field2. build a product that solves it3. use your connections in the field to market it and sell it
