Honestly if you are starting a startup to get rich, just quit and get a real job because you'll get richer quicker. Unless you are a consultant (and thats not really a startup), you will most likely not end up rich, and stats show this. You may bring in a modest salary of 100k+ (That you can pull in anyways in the valley as an engineer), but you'll work far harder for that cash than that other engineer who just has a job. Find something you are really passionate about, and work towards either working on it or start working on it if its possible. I get it, I'm 23 with a wife and kid, but I don't let it stop me from making things, and I certainly don't complain about the choices I made. Yeah, a kid takes time, but that doesn't mean I can't make time. A wife takes time, but I still have 2+ hours per day at least to work on my ideas/read and workout. Thats with a job that eats up 9 hours a day. Being an entrepreneur is a mindset rather than an occupation. If you want to build something (and I mean really want to build it), nothing will stop you.
