My situation is so much like yours that I think we should get in touch. (Damned, we are not nearby. :-)
May I add #C to your list -- MOOCs for the rest of the life together with the day job unless A or B works out.
- mindcrime 13y agoMay I add #C to your list -- MOOCs for the rest of the life together with the day job unless A or B works out. Good point. For me, I chafe at authority pretty strongly, so a $DAYJOB for life sounds like Hell on Earth to me. I've "worked for" somebody for too large a portion of my life already. For me, doing a startup is as much about being in more of a position to call my own shots, and have a little more freedom and flexibility while working as it is about making enough money to retire and spend my life doing math or whatever. I just fucking hate having a "boss" in the traditional sense, even when I like my boss (as is the case with my current $DAYJOB boss). The fact is, I'm a horrible employee. I don't play stupid political games, I am terrible at biting my tongue, I'm insubordinate when I think my manager(s) is/are full of shit, and if I'm not given a fair amount of autonomy I get really annoyed, bored, and disengaged. So for me, option C isn't that appealing. But I can see how it would be for some people.
