Would you take up apprenticeship under founders?

Seems like a bunch of people here are working/interested in working on projects and side hustles. Wondering if any of the folks here would be interested. I'm personally looking for interesting and passionate budding founders as well who I can mentor. Others can chime in.

Indian Startups on

Conventional vs Non-conventional

It's been 3 years ever since I got to know about all the things that I could've done other than choosing engineering. Surely I didn't have balls back then and I told myself that I would explore all the possible domains be it tech/des/marketing/finance/operations. It's been two years in uni now and I really don't know what I can count on. I know a bunch of things but don't know a thing enough to make something out of it. I moved to blr thinking that I would get the city exposure but I am usually caught up in uni things(it's an excuse, I am barely studying). Days are just passing by and everyday this thought bugs me at the back of my mind that even though I am capable enough of doing it, why haven't I done it yet? It's not that I'm chilling or partying, I am just caught up in this vicious cycle where I want to get started working on something fulfilling yet haven't found a way yet to do so. I can go on with the usual engineering path and sit for placements and get that avg or little more than that package but I think that CTC doesn't move me, rather doing something fulfilling and meaningful does. I wish that I could really mean it when I say that I want to do something where I enjoy the process, the daily-to-do-tasks and not the end goal/ paycheck. I've had this idea of working at startups and exploring different domains/departments and figuring out what is the right thing for me; a domain where I bring the best out of me and feel fulfilled as well. Now I certainly cannot do this by signing up for courses that I will never complete, I would rather prefer to work under someone and learn things as I do them. Haven't mailed/reached out any founders yet. Help me in navigating a bit and I will forever be indebted to you. Have summer break next month, July-Aug. Lmk if you've got anything to say or to direct so that I do something about what has been bothering me in the next month. that's the limit? come on grapevine
