"Difficult choice : be an entrepreneur in Strasbourg or a software engineer in SF." Being an entrepeneur is not only about being the boss of your own company. I think many people get this wrong. Entrepreneurship should be in the blood. The hunger, the curiosity, the will to change the daily-job status quo. I used to run my own 2 companies with 2 partners, but I decided to change something and try another approach. Currently I have a well payed job which allows me to save money for peronal business experiments. The main reason why I decided to give up my previous 2 companies was that I did not like the enviroment. Don't get me wrong, my partners were good guys, but I felt no chemistry and no inspiration. My suggestion: go for it. Being a software engineer in SF will open new gates for you and if entrepreurship is in your blood, you can not fail. ;)
