I wonder if our pop culture and awareness/focus on unicorns and startups is leading some people to think they have a high chance of success when in fact it's like playing the lottery. Seeing all these TV shows, movies, HN posts about people starting their own company, etc. I think people greatly overinflate the chances that you make it even somewhat mediocre big -- if you even have an idea that's any good. Like one of the big logistics companies advertising that, hey you can be a truck driver in control of your destiny -- when in fact, it's paying up front for the training, taking out a loan for the truck, and being in debt for years. Or kids enrolling in music school hoping to become a celeb. Except here, you do it to yourself through hopes and dreams.
