listen, OK, here is my story, 10 cent version, way back in 1985 or so, sorry if it is a little hazy, I was developing GUI for network management systems for a Big Blue type company. I interviewed with this rinky dink company in, what was then, HQ'ed in Bellevue WA (now they are in Redmond), to work on their top secret "windows" project. Wow, what a POS that thing was at the time. They offered me $10K/yr less than what I was making at the time and this fantastic stock option plan. But hey; all they had going for them at the time was DOS and this crappy windows where the windows could not overlap, wow. They did not stand a chance against Apple who was way ahead of them with the Mac. So I turned them down. That was the smart move on my part? OK, so the moral of the story is this, take chance when you are young, go for it, do what excites you. So what if you fail. Try it, do it, go for it. Do NOT stick with the cushy salary.
