When you're young and feeling a bit adventurous or idealist, sure, make mistakes and try different things.
Keep in mind that the parent (top) said he's working in government, that's top-notch benefit that you can't get anywhere else. If startups can offer the same level of pay and benefit, even with risk, people will flock to startups.
Having said that, there's one more scenario that I've seen people prefer to choose:
1) Get a fairly stable job (albeit boring one)
2) Do 8-4PM
3) Work on side projects/hobby/small businesses on your free time
Why work for startups or small-medium companies where you may have to work slightly harder and get paid either slightly or way less?
It's just... different...
- gawker 14y agoI definitely see the appeal to that. Having some free time to work on whatever you want or even not to work at all is crucial and it just doesn't make sense for someone who has 3 kids and mortgage to pour all their time into startups.
