Currently working on a Startup part time
Could you resubmit this as an actual poll? This is going to get very messy very quickly the way you've set it up...
And - not working on a startup at the moment. Had one, it died, sold out to be a corporate whore. I like my pimp though.

Currently working on a Startup full time
Full time since January. Still in dev phase and a while before going live. and it's not a pretty sight to see your savings declining steadily (we are bootstrapped on top of this). Yup, I am all in as much as I can go.
note: There is a poll option that might better suite this topic (instead of 4 comments being voted up and down).

Not working on a Startup at all
Will you make up your mind already? You can't possibly be doing all 3 at the same time.
I think those posts by minus are your choices (in lieu of the traditional poll).
Working on a master's degree. My startup ideas always turn out to have been solved a month before I think of them.
business-speak:
It's much harder to be innovative.
If you want to make money, pick a product/service that already exists because:
1. It's been tested and hopefully proven.
2. Market is stable/mature (the pioneers have shelled out all the bringing-to-market-funds)
3. Low barrier to entry (prototypes already exist)
Now all your company has to do is either out-market, or out-serve your competition.
It's a big world; simple right! ;)

It might be worthwhile to try anyways if the current solutions suck. :)
I (Mohit Soni) and my 2 friends (Shashank Shekhar and Kalyan Chakravarthy) are working on Flare (A True WebOS). We were finalists in Google Product Prodigy 2009. Very soon we'll be launching Flare as a service.
