According to Peter Diamandis' newsletter today:
>The career risk hierarchy has inverted for the first time in history. We're seeing something unprecedented: founding a company has become statistically safer than climbing a corporate ladder.

He doesn't link the source, but regardless...
What are some of your entrepreneurial ideas? If you want to keep it a trade secret, then what do you think are some good entrepreneurial ideas?

My idea is to become a full time (comic strip) cartoonist. I already have a strip but I don't really commit much time to it... It's like a hobby for me.

That's not starting a company but being self-employed. Not what Diamandis meant.

Freelance entrepreneur
Anyhow, I can imagine myself starting a business using AI and contract workers

The most important thing is how do you get in front of the right investors.

i have no idea how people are expected to commit to climbing the ladder. i'm a low level accounting manager who makes $120k. if i were to be fired i would have a hard time finding a new job that pays comparably.

now if i were a controller or something making $200k+ that's an even smaller job market, where there might be only a few job openings in my metro area of ~5 million. and who knows if i would have the experience necessary to do those jobs.

so it seems like you wagslave yourself to make that $200k+ salary but you can't really extend yourself with a big fancy home or whatever, because if you lose that job you're either going to be out of work for 1-2 years or you have to sell it all and move to where you can find work.

now imagine you're in an even more fickle or specialized role, like a director lever marketing worker or an engineer who specialized in a niche with literally a few employers in a massive geographic region.

in this way it seems much safer to start your own business. and in fact i've arrived to this same conclusion. i've given up on climbing the ladder and instead focusing on starting my own business.
