What if things don’t work out for you? (opens in new tab)

Not really fair. The author makes it sound like if you don't make it big, you become an abject failure. What if a startup becomes a small, but sustainable business?

And what if you get laid off by a big company? Over and over again? And what if your pension becomes worthless? And what if your union fails?

There is no risk-free path through life, only guesses and degrees.
