How to handle? >> If you are young and smart, building a business is just so much more fun than doing a normal job. Which I (genuinely) assume you are. The reality is far more nuanced than this. Building a "nice online product that brings in more than a job" is the non-trivial lede that you buried in there, and everyone working a job is not wasting their time working a job as a cog.

Yes, it is non-trivial.

But a job is non-trivial as well. So many hours of your life go into it. Over so many years.
