If I were you, I'd get a high paying job AND work on websites. That way, you could get double the money...just a greedy thought  |
James is right. While the money is good, I do this because I enjoy it and I enjoyed it even when I was making $30/month working 30 hours a week on my sites while working a full time job. So the long hours paid off. A lot of people get so caught up in the money but it's not the money so much as it is the freedom to do what I want when I want.
I HATE building sites for other people so I'd never do that. Why add more work when I already put in 60+ hours a week on my own sites? Especially when web design is not really my specialty. Marketing and writing is what I love. I have enough to do trust me.
Maybe I just make it look easy. LOL
Even though I put in 60+ hours per week, it doesn't feel like work because I love what I do. I even feel guilty calling it "work". That question about "what do you do everyday" is hard to answer because it varies. I may put in 12 hours one day and do absolutely nothing the next. I do travel a lot more now. For example I just came back from a 10 day trip to my hometown. It was nice to get away from the Dallas storms for a minute.
The money is nice, but nothing beats the flexibility.
