I realize that I am going to immediately accrue a massively un-hackerly stigma by posting this, but what the heck, it's true:
I'm a missionary for a small and fairly unpopular religion.
The what to do part is the most personal part of escaping, and the part that determines if it'll be an episode or a part of your life going forward. So it shouldn't be surprising if there's very little transference between people. ;)
I guess I'd say the goal most people would like to set, regardless of how they will personally get there, is to dedicate themselves to improving lives. Yes? (We can even avoid Ayn Rand trolls by saying "lives", not "the lives of others")
How you'll go about doing it would be your thing. It's important that you be pretty darn convinced of the importance of doing whatever you escape to do.
I guess there are plenty of other reasons to escape. Ramen profitable, meet Plantain Profitable. I spent $7 for food this week, and I ate like a king (tilapia, fresh veggies, etc).
A startup that was really committed to being a cockroach could survive down here with an angel invester that worked at a meat packing plant.
Well.
