Same here. The only "interesting" choice was when the safe/risky options had the same expected value.

The percentages are much less clear, as are the payoffs. I was attracted less by the monetary payoff of the entrepreneurial life than the other, less tangible benefits: responsibility, control, independence, learning opportunities, challenge, etc. I'm not attracted to safety, I'm afraid of boredom.
