The hard problems are always the fun problems. Yes there's risk, but life is full of risks. The learning that happens while tackling a hard problem is immeasurable, will take you leaps and bounds over your contemporaries, and that will set you apart. Subject matter experts aren't forged by solving easy problems. There seems to be a great deal of "careerist" advice in the forums. That path can certainly lead to contentment, but it's slow, intellectual suicide. I was on this track before, but gave it up and couldn't be happier. Edit: grammar
