Quite profound. Companies seem to thrive on sould crunching. My own experience leads me to believe so.

But would the inverse also hold true? Is unemployment a fuel to entrepreneurship? The longer you are unemployed or under employed leads to one just going for it?

Opposite of big company != unemployed||underemployed.

Could be working for startups, starting a startup, grad/school, independent contracting/freelancing, etc.

I'd imagine that the number of successful entrepreneurs that couldn't find employment if they wanted to is pretty low. Personally, and from what I've seen, entrepreneurs and self-employed people just really really don't like working for 'the Man'. Even if 'the Man' is a great employer.
