Have you ever felt like this?

The major-killer of business start-ups is cash flow for the first 18 months.

Many business plans assume that the income from the business will immediately be 100%-of-target for the first year. The first month-income will be v-e-r-y v-e-r-y low; the second and third-month income will be v-e-r-y low; the fourth-thru-seventh income will be still low. If there is enough working-capital to survive the first 14 months, then the business will have a good chance of surviving.

Monotony is no reason to leave a good job in this economic environment.

Wait for the recession to get over even if your own business project fails, you can find another job.

I can understand the way you feel, and it is that scenario that if you did not have a job you would have given and arm and a leg to ge the job you are in, but there are reasons to be dissatisfied with any job, not just the salary, but also the interest levels and the extent to which in challenges. The interest levels, challenge and happiness at the work place can be overwhelming considerations to give up a job.

However, even people in lower paying jobs have the same considerations regards how interesting their jobs are etc, but they do not have the luxury to consider what you are considering.

I am inclined to take the dive, but it is my better sense that is coming into play when advising you.

You still have the option to take the dive later on, but do it wisely when the economy is doing better.
