So that tells us the current default for making a living is temporary. The question is what's next?

The next default could be starting startup. Just like getting a job is today. But should you start one now? Let's look at all the reasons not to. And objectively examine our feelings.

Too Young.

The median age of startup founders is 27. Being too young is not about biological age. It's about maturity. Would you feel like an equal talking to your employees who might be older than you? What if your investor or your co-founder said "your idea is stupid". Would you agree or would you rebel? A kid would do either of these things. An adult would ask why.

Too Inexperienced.

The only 2 ways to get experience is to work for someone else or to work for yourself. Working for someone else gives you the experience of working for someone else. That's not what you need in a startup. So the best way to get experience in startups is to start one.

Not determined enough.

You can't get good at math through determination. To be good at math you need to learn the rules and then manipulate those rules. In startups there are no rules. So the determination to make up the rules and make them work can get you as far in startups, as your talent can get you in math.
