140 Characters Wasn't Enough

140 characters wasn't enough

In response to @cagarland tweet to me regarding grads going the entrepreneurial route, I liked the article but disagree (to an extent) that entrepreneurs make less money referenced in an article here.  There is ton of validity to experience, true.  But the hurdles I have to overcome and mistakes I'm making now, I think at least, has really accelerated my learning curve, which probably would have taken significantly longer working for a corporation. Also, the fact that I have little to no responsibilities is a defining factor which is why to me, it's worth the risk. I do agree that it takes a lot of time and hard work. One thing I've learned is that there's no magic button! 

I'd like to hear other's thoughts on this, especially young people starting companies?

Thanks!
