I'm 29 and thought about quitting and doing my own and was talked out of it by my older peers at my corporate job. I was about 24 for then. In hindsight it was by far one of my regrettable decisions. I see products and ideas being created that were all in my personal incubator. Not to mention they are all profitable. So I say this, if you have internet, time & a mind anything is possible. Good luck on your ventures. I'm sure success will find you.

People tried to talk me out of it too. They all thought I was crazy (maybe I am). But I know I would regret not seizing the opportunity. Thank you for your comment.
Out of curiosity, why not still do it? If you regret it, what in your mind is convincing you it's too late to try?
Really its out of comfort and fear of the unknown. I do freelance development and it scratches the itch I have to do interesting work for now. I also have decided to wait until I stumble upon a great idea. Really I'm to the point now I'm just working for healthcare. Meaning I'm paid well but spend nada.
