Wow that was pretty insightful. Never looked at it that way. It seemed like local startups are getting funded with half baked ideas or clones and I thought that I could do just as well as them so I was pretty hesitant to find a job. I guess that it was a little arrogant on my part to think of it that way. But yeah I have began to apply for jobs at local startups and some companies outside the tech industry. Thanks for the heads up!

1) Admittedly, my earlier startups are kinda just following the hype hence the Groupon clone and what not. I have since stopped following the hype. However, that is also the reason why I was stuck in my room for 6 months keep trying to find "the right one".

2) Fortunately, money is not an issue. I am very privilege to be in this position. With that being said, I can't just sit down and do nothing. I need to find some source of income.

3) I was messing around with Arduino, 3D printers and Raspberry Pi while I as still working in my friend's startup. Ever since then, I felt like I needed to do something more "serious" to make some money as I am out of job at the moment.

Well, the one thing that pops up is to create an Ebook about learning web development in 30 days. It's not going to be a startup or anything. It's just something that I could probably ship it in a month and I might learn how to sell a product at the same time. Only thing is, there are a ton of materials outside for free already, so I could potentially be wasting my time.

Would you recommend any particular industry? Should it be a startup or a bigger company?
