"Without a safety net"?

Bachelor's in physics, Bachelor's in Econ. at Warton, began PHd at Stanford, comes from a prominent family(usually meaning rich).

He had a safety net. Just wanted to keep it real Homies. (I think the guy is great. It's just he had a safety net. He wasn't going to be panhandling by risk. Plus, when he made his investments his resume was pretty impressive. My biggest hope is his battery factory, and he keeps Tesla afloat when the other car makers hit us with electrical automobiles.)



True, but having to fall back to getting a 9/5, however choice a position it might be, would be quite the blow after having tens of millions in the bank. It wouldn't feel like much of a safety net.


anyone who works as hard at moving forward like he does, a safety net is irrelevant, you can never fall back
