So you decide to set up your own business selling rubber dipped bananas covered in chocolate sauce. Why would you do that? Rubber isn't edible! Beyond your poor choice of product, there are bigger problems ahead. The reason people choose employment over following their own dreams is that in real life dreams crumple like badly made meringue. Watch a single episode of Dragon's Den. Really watch it, don't get pulled in by the dramatic music and interesting products that you would or would not buy. Look at the eyes of the dragons, they are haunted and they are hunters. They look at these mewling lambs that wander into their den and wonder how they can pump them for every penny they have, then cast them out. The vast majority don't even get that far, and the majority of those that do get that far are turned away with nothing for being completely haggard, useless and unsuited to business. Making your dreams reality really can kill you. And not in a Freddie Krueger sort of way, in a businessman dying from autoasphyxiation while masturbating in a hotel room sort of way.
