>> "What I do enjoy, however, is building up. I like modeling and being about to think at greater and greater levels of abstraction to solve problems that aren't puzzles, but instead open ended questions."

In my opinion, you will do well if you focus on building your own business sooner or later.

No, it is not. But grand parent comment was giving this advice based on the quoted specifics and not for everyone.

But building something from scratch, even if non-profit, is the easiest way to get a job you really want. And at the same time you can find out that you like doing actual business and smoothly transition. It's a win-win IMO.
