Quite a few statements made here with little personal experience to back them up. I'm a startup founder for the last four years and would not trade it in for anything - even the difficult experience of taking my company through Techstars and then having a split with my co-founder right after. Startups aren't for everyone but what you learn about yourself, doing business, customers, markets, etc... should not be ignored. Corporate jobs are also not for everyone but there are many this you learn on that environment that is invaluable too. I say fuck the odds, keep your job and build something, and sell it. If you can't sell enough of it then figure out why and what's next. On my phone please excuse typos.
