Nahh... Like Matt said. I'm 57. Maybe I'm sounding bitter. I'm
mostly just being a little teachy, not bitter.

I've had fun times at two startups,
and also sort of felt used some of the time. The rest of my 15 years of employment
was at large established corps and I still had fun there also.
Your mileage may vary, and you need experience, and
employment is a bang up way to get it.

Then just ponder what you know of "how to" in business and in science
and decide what to do next. Business know hos lets you consider a larger range.
Always ask about operational details as you do your "jobs". If you don't do
too many hours of it on the company paid clock you may not even feel guilty
of breach of employment contract. Try to give your employers a good share
of your youthful energy and there will be no trouble.
All of Wall Street runs off your energy channeled into sellable vehicles
like stock options, company shares, preferred stock, etc. Don't
give them all of it either. Save some for collecting your thoughts and
forming a plan. Don't stay employed for too long. My 15 years was almost too
long. And then there is human sexuality, and related life events that blow up all these
plans...so get going while you can.

Very few have the traits to launch into tech business from a BS degree.
Not me for sure... I got jobs.
