Holding out for ideal job vs. settling

U ever consider founding your own startup?

I don't have the capital, the experience, or the drive. I don't want to be 100% responsible for bringing in my own income and dealing with crises when they pop up.

Honestly man, those sound like excuses. I'd say give it a try. You're just going to keep working 40 hours a week for companies you have no desire to work for for the rest of your career until you eventually retire and live off your 401k and SS? Now is the time to fucking do it. Start. Reading. I cant stress this enough. Pick up some books on entrepreneurship, organizational behavior and managerial skills. Start exercising and network as much as possible. Start writing down ideas and do a lot research. Formulate a daily routine and stick to it. Focus more on how you spend your time and a little less on how you spend your money (Though of course it is still important). You created this thread because you are unsure of what the future holds for you and right now you have the decision of either trying something new or continue with the same old bullshit. Don't get me wrong, it's going to be tough, but stay focused on one thing at a time, figure out the details, seek guidance and most importantly don't give up. You can do it just like anyone else can, it's just a matter of how disciplined and focused you are. Cheers and good luck.

I work in a vertical SATURATED by startups, and they all fail miserably (digital marketing). The only way for it to work is basically to go door-to-door trying to sell the service to small businesses, and it's just frankly not worth it when I can make $100k working for a large company RIGHT NOW as opposed to trying to sell some mom & pop shop a social media presence.

There's bigger firms offering better pricing because they have more people to throw at this. My area of expertise really only benefits large companies with multimillion dollar budgets, and they're not going to go with me over a full marketing agency.
