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?

    You think a PhD will be more fun? Everyone I know who has done a PhD is usually whining about it.

    Also… spreading thin is what everyone does, until one day they decide to focus on one thing.

    What stops you from having an internship and working on your project at the same time?

      Op is just a kid. I think the allure of saying you have a PhD is more interesting than actually doing the PhD. And yes it is dreadful.
