First, gain work experience in the industry before starting a business. Things are different now;you need experience and connections to succeed.

Good question, think it depends if someone has a great idea that they are driven to make it work! For many people there is nothing wrong with getting a job, and getting a stable career. Probably it has financial benefits, I wrote a thesis once and actually the median monetary reward of self-employed individuals is around 30% lower per hour then that of employees. So the creativity and the dream should be worth it. In general people who have their own business respond being more satisfied with their work then employees, even though they earn less!

Don’t grow up. Adulthood is a trap.

Some advice I'd give: 1) Focus on learning, growth, and getting experience early in your career over chasing money. The skills and knowledge you gain will pay dividends later. 2) Take some calculated risks while you're young - start that business, take that job in a new city. Easier to do before you have too many responsibilities. 3) Don't compare yourself to others or feel pressured to have it all figured out. Everyone moves at their own pace. Enjoy the journey! Anyone else have advice to share?
