It's kind of sad to see the script of life being promoted in r/entrepreneur due to a few bumps along the way. Calling it quits in your twenties makes it even more depressing.
But my ultimate gripe with this post is the title.
Entrepreneurship is a mindset. It’s not a “thing” you dabble in and hope for the best.
The world has indoctrinated young men to think school and the hope of a subsequent job is the best (and only) way; that going back to school and a 9-5 is better than the freedom entrepreneurship provides if you just stuck with it.
There's still hope for this guy, but I'm not sure about those who read his post and are discouraged and decide to relinquish their freedom in exchange for perceived stability.
I know there are thousands of members of this forum who have done something similar, and we'll never hear from them ever again. Sad, but true.
I hope no one reading this quits and gives in to the salary narrative. Remember to keep going:
