I know many people (including me) who've left the comfort of a full-time job position to jump in the entrepreneurial/Internet start-up fray. Kid, mortgage and solid career: the definition of my life until last summer! But I still took the plunge. And it feels good. :-) BTW, in the project I'm working on, I think there might actually be a partnership opportunity with B5 Media. I'll keep you posted. It feels like that in Montreal as well.

The former has a completely different level of risk (and reward), stress, and responsibility...and is not for the faint of heart... Mark:

Today's fast moving business environment demands long and sometimes strange hours, so might as well have some sort of stake in it instead of just trying to keep up.

I think people feel the need to create their destiny not only in life but professionally as well. Family time or time for life are big motivators but look at the process of getting to work these days, if you commute into the city every morning some commutes are as long as 1/2 your working hours, the cost of gas, stuck in traffic etc etc. Get out there, create and build.
