What should I do for college and work when I really want to be an entrepreneur but don’t know where to start?

I really want to run my own business or create an app, but people keep telling me not to jump right into starting a business. They say I should get some experience first and work a regular job before trying that. I kinda agree, but the jobs people suggest don’t really interest me. For example, my sister said she would help me with money if I went to college for nursing, but I don’t want to be a nurse. My dad talks about engineering a lot, but I never thought about that for myself, and I don’t think I would like it. I’m just not sure what I should do for college or work right now, and I need help figuring it out.
