Default Seeking advice from current entrepreneurs

It is definitely one of my life goals to go into business for myself. My main goal in college was to make money when I graduated (I didn't realize until later that this was a terrible goal to have). Picking a major for me was essentially looking at a list of the most highly paid majors after graduation and picking the top one (which is why I ended up getting my MSEE). I am now working as an engineer and earning good money, but slowly realizing that I could be so much more beneficial to others (and happier) if I were self employed, doing something that I really love.

Just looking for advice on when to leave my job. I don't really have any good ideas for what my business would be. Should I try to come up with a business plan while still working at my current job or just leave and essentially force myself to come up with some good ideas? How did the current entrepreneurs in here transition from working for the man to working for yourselves?
