I was going to quit soon anyways, but now that I've been placed in this situation, I'm just torn between educating myself further or diving into a business.

There is nothing wrong with losing your job; Steve Jobs lost his job once. Many other successful billionaires, we all share a piece of the failure cake.

My advice is:

1- Get your hands dirty in some sort of business, but don't waste all your savings.

2- Get into the market, talk to people and do some market studies, look for a niche in the market, try to start in a small jurisdiction and keep notes of everything.

3- Learn about all aspects of business, as I said before, law, finance and management. Some marketing skills, and work on your social skills.

4- Get some entrepreneurs friends, online and better in real life.
