You're right, a lot of the people who decide to "chase the dream" do fail and they do pass up more secure opportunities, but most of the times that's a good thing. The experience and lessons learned when starting a business are invaluable, but of course, everyone who fails has to decide for themselves whether they want to continue or just settle for something less or more secure. I know I hated myself for passing up a few good opportunities (especially when my big plans went belly up), but I wouldn't trade the hustle (and stress) of doing what I like for anything else.
