I entered my own business at 26 years old. Although I did okay but when you own the business, the business owns you. Be careful before you give up that job with the guarenteed pension and hospitization plan. Be prepared to be taxed to death (especially if you live in NY) Being self employed sounds impressive but I have many friends who end up having a better retirement package than I ended up with. Look before you leap.
