Aspiring founder (but no co-founder and problem) – should I work for a startup?

I’m a student and aspiring founder. But since I don’t have a problem + co-founder that I want to go all-in on yet, I assume that for my internships and full-time job, working for a pre-PMF startup (as opposed to working for big tech or a VC company) would be the best option for me?

But what if the startup (that I’m working for, post-grad) fails? Is it most optimal for me to hop to another startup (assuming, once again, that I don’t have a problem + co-founder that I want to go all-in on)?

And how would your answer differ if I was technical vs. non-technical, which would in-turn affect the work (and pay) I’d be doing for the startup?

Basically I’m wondering what the most optimal decision is for a current student and aspiring founder — who wants at least a bit of job security.
