Pretty cool! When you do a job, it is difficult to make someone understand what's going on in the professional who does not do a job. If you want to do something on your own, this is not going to be easy, but if you really want to do it, you should move on.
There is a generation gap. What our parents think impossible, now that's possible because of technology.
I can understand our parent's feelings because job life is secure more than self-employed life... But it's a personal choice of course...
