You can always take the salary and save up for a nice downpayment on a house. Basically, I'm working to pay off my house and get some equity until I figure out what my second career is going to be.

I have a very nice paying job now, with a clear career path which seems practically never ending (I have a very good starting position at one of the world's largest electronics firms).

It's still not enough for me though. I'm like you, single, young, etc.

Would you trade the excitement, fun and potential for wealthiness being a business owner can give you for some temporary comfort as someone else's biatch? It crosses my mind, but I just know I wouldn't.
As a matter of fact - my exit path is already laid out and has never seemed sweeter.

Good luck either ways.

I think just from your posts and such, you never had a nice paying job and its always been a struggle for you.
I just thought making some good money for once would be nice for you to enjoy.

I was very simple like you, never really had a real job and just making enough money to enjoy life.
When I did get a real job, I saved enough money to buy a house, be debt free, etc...
Now I'm back to relaxing again.

Now sorry if I presumption is wrong, I'm just speaking from experience.

Appreciate it, but you are offbase. I've had some very nice paying jobs, and I can get nice paying jobs now if I am so inclined. I can get a job today in publishing, and make nice money, but I would have to put up with the stress that comes along with impossible deadlines and what not. Been there, done that.

My fault then....I thougth you posted a little while ago that you lost your job or something like that.

No, I had left my job because I really could not stand my boss.

So if you're not making a lot of $$ now with few clients, that means that you have a lot of free time to take the tile job and do the graphics business.
