7 Reasons To Take the Leap After College
Inspired by this post written from the perspective of a 28 year-old. I turn 22 this month and don’t plan to ever have a traditional job after I graduate.
- Opportunity Cost is lowest right now (mortgage, kids, relationships, etc. make it tougher to take risk)
- People (and VCs) are biased towards young entrepreneurs
- It’s easy to find mentors when everyone is older than you
- You can always move-in with your parents if something goes wrong
- Your at a pivotal time in your life when learning and dreaming is still easy, your beliefs and attitudes are still malleable
- Failing early and failing often will accelerate your progress as an entrepreneur
- You are on the same level as other young entrepreneurs, more likely to meet tomorrow’s startup rock-stars

i would argue that the best time is DURING college. after college, you have more responsibilities, and so if you fail during college, you have an “excuse.” plus, it’s also the best resource for meeting people with diverse ideas!
you’re right, I changed the title to include full-time. I think it’s still easier being an entrepreneur when you can devote your full time to it, also if you don’t go to school in a startup hub it’s harder to find mentors and investors.
