I think that's a great point. The time to do this is before you have huge commitments to things like... ummm.... babies... and mortgages.... and spouses....

If you go broke and you know how to code, sell or build product you can recover quickly by parking yourself at Google or Facebook for a year or two.

There is little downside to trying in your 20s UNLESS you go into massive debt (defined as 1-2x your expected yearly salary)
