The road to entrepreneurship is a bumpy one, so for many budding business owners it pays to keep their day jobs while establishing their firms.

In fact, entrepreneurs who kept their day jobs had a 33 percent higher survival rate than those who didn’t, according to researchers Joseph Raffiee and Jie Feng.
