If you're in a place to make big $ w/o doing anything creative, you're in a privileged position in life. Most people are making just a little $ w/o doing anything creative or having any meaning in their life.
Doing anything that matters is a lot of work with just a slight sliver of reward. If you're in a position to make it as a rent-seeker, I say milk it for what it's worth.
- stuck 16y agoThose are exactly my fathers words. I have definitely thought about this option, my fear is that I will get to 35 without having done anything that I care about in life.
- terra_t 16y agoWell, I was being about 50% sarcastic there. Personally I've been forced into entrepreneurship, somewhere around 37, because I realized my career wasn't going to go anywhere (in terms of either doing work I could be proud of or making $) unless I made some move. At the age of 25, I just didn't have that sense of urgency.
