I know how this sounds. Sorry if it’s a stupid question. I built a small little site in my hometown for kids in highschool. It’s got a good amount of users and I can see it growing. The only problem is I don’t really care. I’m about to graduate highschool and I want to do more ambitious things during college. I don’t want this project I don’t care about to take away my ability to focus on things I do care about. At the same time, it’s hard coming up with good ideas and I might have an opportunity to practice making something big out of a side project.
What should I do?
Keep your expenses low and your options open. The choice is yours, 4 years to gain real-world experience, or 4-6 years of university to enter the workforce, 10 years of work more to pay off the school debt. Be smart, read books and CEO interviews. What you’re doing now is incredible. I would stay on course, intern for a startup and learn all you can about business (not a role/profession) keep researching successful businesses and applying that to your own ideas. By the time you’re 25 all you’ll know about is how to run a successful business.
