Work harder.
I'm just starting my second year of college, and trying to figure out where I want my life to go. I think I was born to do startups but need to know what I can fall back to. There's a very low success rate but because of statistical bias we hear mostly from those who succeed. I want to hear the other side of the story to find out what it's really like.
The one problem I've had is that some jobs are literally beneath you once you've started a company - people can be afraid to hire you. But that's not really an obstacle as much as a platform.
