About #1... can you work 9-5 at a tech company? Is this guy a developer? There are non-competes too so you can't build something Google is thinking on building or have you working on, also, and more importantly, most of the "successful" startup guys wont just "get a job at Google", I know many people here would, but it's hard for a lot of people that start businesses to: 1. Just get a 9-5 job 2. Be so deep into computer science that Google requires For many of these guys to get to Google it would be easier to build something and then sell it to them.
