"Pedigree Matters" as an untruth: I wish this were the case. Too many entrepreneurs I know are only entrepreneurs because they have the support system of comfortably wealthy families and the professional network gained at elite schools and fellowships.
Would love to hear more about entrepreneurs who live on the edge and try to start a business while also needing to make rent and student loan payments.

I planned on dropping out two years in and ended up having to go back to school because my parents couldn't afford the loan payments at the time - and they wouldn't have to pay while I was in school (which they wanted me to do anyway). Went back and did client work to keep the lights on.
