Although bconway is trying to look out for your better interests, I'm going to advise you to go with the route you just mapped out. Maybe your idea isn't the "one". Maybe you can't pull off running a startup. Maybe you aren't in the right place at the time. But I'm betting that the preceding paragraph is all false. And even if I'm wrong, at least you put your balls on the line and did something you believed in. The story of your startup will beat an infinite number of drunken frat stories any day. Safety Net: You can always head back to college if things get ugly.
