> Tech is weird in that you're competing against a lot of very smart people, the barriers to building a tech product are very low, and the competition is global. In contrast if you open a used car lot you'll typically be competing with few average business men in the area who had the capital to start the company. Your chances of success are astronomically higher even if it's capped.
This is exactly what I tell some of my non-techie friends who are interested in entrepreneurship. Problem is, it turns out most people care just as much about the journey as they do about the destination and turn their noses up at the prospect of being another guy/gal running a drab retail store down the street.
