working for an investor

[Melvin Cable]

I was brainstorming to figure out a way to work with experienced investors to gain knowledge from them. My day job is a carpenter (and at times work is slow) I would offer to work for someone at a reduced wage if they shared tips and advice with me. I would do this as a full time deal. I look at it if I'm around the people doing what I want to accomlish I can get there faster.

Is this an idea that might work? What are your thoughts? If you are an experienced investor and a newbie made that offer what would you do?
