Yes get a job. Why? These are the reasons:

• You will learn to value your time and you will learn time management, once you have your own business it is essential to manage your time if not you will not be able to accomplish anything.
  
  

• But don't just get any available job in the market. Get a job that is similar to the business you would like to start. Example, If you want to start an advertising business. Go work for an advertising agency or a company that handles advertising accounts.
  
  

• Learn the routine of the business. This is essential if you are starting out on your own. The daily work routine will be second nature to you once you start your own business.
  
  
  

• You could emulate the best practices of the company you're working for, and you could apply them to your business later on.

• You can build up contacts from your job. [But do not pirate the business contacts and deals, I don't want you getting into trouble.] These contact would be valuable in building your own business in the future, start building your network while you are working.
  

• You will also build up the confidence you need to make it on your own, if you get a job that is similar to the kind of business you are going to start up it will not be hard for you to go from employed to self-employed.
  

• Having a job will help you get the business loan you need to start up a business, or you could simply save a portion of the money from your salary for your future business.

• Most of all you will always have a fall back if your business is not getting enough customers or clients yet. Remember that in order for a business to stand on it's own it takes a few months to a few years. Your job will be the source of back up money.
  

So get a job, before you even start your own business. Get the necessary experience and expertise to succeed in your own business.
