I'd like to, but the cost of losing out on a year of money/experience/retirement is awful. Compound interest is important. If we lived in the federation of Star Trek, we wouldn't be having this conversation for many reasons (not just the no money part). I really wish I was independently wealthy or won the lottery or something like that. It would be so cool to just go to a coffee shop and work on some cool project for me.
