You realize you are talking about a CONSULTING firm.

"People who don't do well at large corporations." You realize that's the differentiator.

I agree. Its why I would never do well going out on my own. Too much risk.

It usually comes down to choosing the wrong socioeconomic class and income of your parents.

Nothing good. I'm picturing too cool for school types who are trying very hard to convince me that they are *~special~*

+1. Lots of people don't do well in large corporations but only a type makes it their identity.

Also, I think people who start consulting firms are less likely to have partners/kids or the kind of community involvement that requires a steady income and steady schedule. People are risk averse when they have something to lose.
