It’s an interesting dilemma. How we complicate our lives by having so many options. The overthinking and the hedging we do. And turn one goal into many. One direction into many.

You want to bootstrap a small company. By working for a large company. By getting a graduate degree. By getting $180k in debt.

Just take out the $180K loan and start your business. This is what Peter Thiel fellowship would have you do.

This long path of avoidance and preparation to work on what you want to work on…. life is too short.

Smart enough to get into MIT is smart enough to succeed whatever path you choose.

The point is. Be clear of your end goal. The path will then be obvious.
