Re:Unexpected Startup Lesson #1: Quitting the day job by webwright on Monday May 10, 2010 @02:15PM (#1335433)
I had a similar experience. No doubt, it's an expensive education, just a different kind.

If you set aside a $100k a year job to make nothing, you're "leasing-to-own" that equity and that education for $8,500 per month. Once you can pay yourself an insulting $50k salary, you're leasing it for $4,250.

Financially speaking, it's a helluva lot more painful than an MBA... But (for me) it was worth it.
