> taking risk that might lead to failure is a no go.
For certain personality types. Let's say with some high conviction, the typical technology / engineering personality is already highly risk adverse.
Thus - they need all the risk avoidance as possible. Entrepreneurship is a risk game. It is defined by risk; those that won't start without safety nets will probably never start at all.
I know enough family men who built startups for years with young kids - earning nothing. It's not the situation, it's the person.

Not to get off-topic but startups are risky. On the other hand - at least in my book - entrepreneurs are actual risk-adverse. That is, where others see too much risk, entrepreneurs see opportunity. They are actually risk blind to some extent.
But like I said, this another discussion for another day :)
Instead, the no risk route is to assimilate into the status quo, become a cog in The System's wheel. Providing foundational First World "human rights" would allow more professional / career freedom.
