"I can't see why you wouldn't rather sit back in your ergonomically-designed desk chair, crack a beer you bought on the company's expense account, and cut your biweekly salary checks that could feed a family of five for three months."

I know that's bait, but I can't help falling...

Maybe that's true for the author (or someone Harvard-educated), but here in the third world, enterpreneurship sounds a lot better when you see that a "dream" job like mine pays U$ 15.000 after taxes (and yes, people think I'm mad because I want to quit).

I do have job security people in Spain or the US might only dream of (six months' severance plus a year's salary if I'm fired), but being secure in a dead end isn't my dream life.
