I've been having the general thought that the responsibility of the privileged is to take risks that is beyond the tolerance of those with less means.

Choosing an unconventional & lonely path is tough enough as it is; and having to constantly convince the very people who should be there to support you (if they value your happiness), is the last thing you want. Huge energy drain, loss of focus & confidence.

I dropped out of college to focus on building stuff I'm interested in. I think that throwing myself in the ocean will force me to learn how to swim, and I prefer to drown before I have to get back to land. Now, I'm happier than I've ever been, enjoying every line of code I write.

Plan B is only an option if you are creating a startup with the purpouse of making money. When you truly believe in solving the problem you are facing a Plan B is really quitting on solving it and going after something else.
