Is It Better to Be a Big Fish in a Little Pond or a Little Fish in a Big Pond?

[SweetSecret]

I think ideally is at least medium fish in the big pond. Usually the resources required to survive in the small pond are very little, so big fish in a small pond will always survive but might not necessarily thrive out of the feeling that they could always be doing better elsewhere. However, sometimes even the big fish from the small pond can't make it as a medium finish in the big pond and if the resources required in the big pond are adding up enough the small fish can't survive. Of course, I'm purely thinking in terms of economics. This is like the 80/20 rule at play.
