| It's tough. I still remember calling my dad to tell him I didn't want to go to law school anymore. "Oh shit" was his reaction. For the first few months, everyone thought I was nuts. For the first two years, I still heard constant doubts. But then the doubts ceased, and people started to say "hey, that's pretty cool what you're doing" and they asked how I did it. There's no getting around that discomfort. Right now you're prioritizing present comfort over future regret. Would you be comfortable sending this discussion thread to yourself five years from now? What got me around that block was reading the Four Hour Workweek, especially the first couple chapters. I'd check it out – buy it right away. (I do LSAT prep, incidently, http://lsathacks.com is my site, and I run the LSAT subreddit. You may have seen my stuff. Also, Canada is supportive of entrepreneurs too, you just need to find the right neighborhood and social group. I live in the Plateau in Montreal, where a good quarter of the neighborhood is a student or self employed. I don't feel out of place.) |
