Solving a technical problem and starting a company are two different processes. I would say that it's better for most people to focus on the first, and then if there seems to be demand for the solution, consider the second.
If there's established demand for a product, then it might be time to start a company. If you already have clients or people dying to fund you (they asked you, not vice versa) then go. That's more acyclical than trying to become a VC darling.
Also, getting a stable job isn't out of the question for most people. This isn't 2008.
