What, apart from money, attracts people to working in business (corporates, start-ups et al) as opposed to academia, arts, research, etc?

Ans: Deciding whether to start a business or work as an employee can be a tough call. It really depends on what you want, your personal values and the level of risk you're comfortable with.

Entrepreneurship has its perks, like being your own boss and making your own schedule. You can also potentially earn more and have the satisfaction of creating something new. However, it can also be risky, with no guarantee of success, and can require a lot of work and effort.

On the other hand, being an employee has benefits like a steady paycheck, benefits, and opportunities for career advancement. However, it can also feel limiting and may not allow for as much personal or professional growth.

So, it really comes down to what you value most. Do you want the freedom and potential financial gain that comes with running your own business? Or, do you prefer the stability and security of a regular paycheck and benefits? It's important to think about what you want and what you're willing to risk to get it.

Ans: Well there is no age to start a business and there are many case studies of late starters who built multi billion dollar empires. See what skills you can leverage and plunge in. However, invest only in a way that even if you loose the investment, your basic livelihood would not be impacted.
