Quitting a job and following your heart during the largest tech boom in human history, when jobs were jumping out of windows onto unsuspecting passer-bys, might make for a great story, but I'm not sure it's great advice for young kids today, with under-25 unemployment in the 20's in the U.S. and much higher elsewhere.

Unless you've got something lined up, or a lot of cash set aside, I'd advise being very conservative in this environment.
