hey dude, I'm a 20 year old guy in almost the same shoes as you, except I dropped out freshman year of college. $60k sounds cool, definitely a good net ~15000$ more than the $40k I am getting, but I have no idea what SF living costs are ( i live in a suburb of a small metro with 4 roomies for $300/mo ). Do you plan on getting rich with them when you say "I'd simply like to find an interesting project and then really throw myself at it", or do you plan on starting your own thing? I've worked at 2 jobs (both enterprise; one was crazy hours and high pay when I was 19 (yup, red bulls all day), and the one I have now is very smooth at 9-5), and I can honestly say that I haven't found any truly interesting projects at either of them. If the answer is yes, and you think they have a good shot at getting rich within 4 years, the $60k should be a small factor in your decision.
