I know I'm taking this article out of context... so who is it targeted towards? Some background would likely help this article tremendously because as-is it's obviously ridiculous. Most people out of college are not in a position to forego a job to vaguely "build something". The issues are numerous: money, knowledge, ability, a realistic world-view, etc. I'd suggest the opposite to most smart engineering grads: sell your time (i.e. get a 9 to 5 job) and invest the money, knowledge, and free time you get into learning how to build things.

My reaction to this article: "That'd be nice, but I live in New York". That's why that Onion headline is so brilliant: you HAVE to do the thing you love on nights and weekends until you get good enough at it to attempt to do it full time. In the meantime, you have to pay your rent, you have to buy your food and have a social life and a girlfriend and all those other things that make life pleasant.
