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?
Shelve the idea for now and focus on your education, figuring out your career path, and internships.
In a decade you will have lots of money saved, a degree, a strong resume, and a large network. At that point you can start a company and be wildly successful.
You have time, so use it in the most valuable way possible. That is genuinely focusing on your studies and building a career.
I would say do this on the side in your free time as a hobby / entertainment, but if you’re not even interested in the pursuit then obviously don’t do that.
