In my personal opinion if you are doing something that risky do it when you are young. Once you cross a particular age threshold your possibilities of future pivots back to jobs will be decreased considerably. Especially in the tech industry ageism does exist. And at a young age you tend to take a more irrational leap of faiths and to an extent, that's a must for an entrepreneur in his early stages.

In my own experience, i jumped into the entrepreneurial journey right after my graduation. Was it a well thought out decision. No of course not. It was a kid chasing his dreams. All cliches aside sometimes dreams don't feed you. But if you ask me "do i regret", i would confidently say No. If you choose to be an entrepreneur, no one or no book in the world can prepare you for the shit that you are going to face and 60% of the time you'll have bad experiences. So why choose it over a well-paying job? That's a question you might have to answer. And that answer will change over time. If you go with it, be prepared for the following

It not fun (As mainstream media portray it to be). Every morning when you wake up & your rational mind will ask you why? be prepared with an answer. Embrace the uncertainty and learn to survive on hope.

And finally, save some money at least to survive for 3 years. Live frugally
