When some people are retrenched, they develop a fear of getting laid off again and think that being their own boss would be a bit more secure. Others, after spending a good deal of time in a US mainstream industry, look up and see a transparent "glass ceiling" that they somehow just can never break through, so to find some room to grow they start up a business.
有人因為被裁員裁怕了，不如自己當老闆安全些；有人在美國主流企業待久了，往上看到一層透明的「玻璃天花板」卻怎麼樣也突破不了，為了另尋開闊的天空而創業。
