Dealing with the uncertainty of starting your own business is even worse.
Few actually make it and most who try and fail are pretty miserable later on.
The daily grind is also miserable, but it's a predictable misery.
I do side gigs occasionally and if I were to live off this, I would fail - first and foremost because until recently I was too afraid to charge people amounts that make it worth it for me.

However, I genuinely wonder if this is true. The saying "a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush" seems reasonable at first glance, but it could also be something someone tells you to prevent you from seeking a better place beyond his influence.
