Untemplating Entrepreneurship Tick

it
was
5:00pm
and
I
had
another
hour
of
grueling
grunt
work
to
 get
through
before
I
could
catch
the
train
home.
I
was
a
Dinancial
consultant
at
a
top
50
 consulting
Dirm
making
$55,000
my
Dirst
year
after
graduating
college.
In
my
friends’
 eyes,
I
was
leading
a
successful
life
and
on
my
way
to
getting
my
MBA,
working
my
 way
up
the
corporate
ladder,
and
retiring
at
age
65
a
wealthy
and
successful
man. But
something
just
didn’t
feel
right.
It
wasn’t
the
60‐hour
workweeks,
nor
was
it
the
fact
 that
I
could
only
hang
out
with
my
friends
and
girlfriend
on
the
weekends;
it
was
the
fact
 that
I
was
just
another
drone
following
the
template
lifestyle.
If
I
stayed
on
my
 current
path,
I
would
die
an
ordinary
person
who
followed
the
average
“American
 Dream.”
