    Yes and yes. I got through the later years of school running a networking business. I also started a computer hardware business (selling specialized video capture cards) that folded after a couple of years.

    Starting a business is fun and challenging. It is always hard work and the pay's not always the best or steady, however.
    I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

      But I'm going to do it in an exploitative, rapacious way in which I grow disproportionately rich off other peoples' ideas. If that works for you, then we should talk
      No reward without risk.

        Yes, but it was merely to improve my income in my main job, it was never intended to replace that job. In hindsight, I shouldn't have founded it, because all it did was branching off hard earned money for the government. Following this thought, I closed the business a few weeks ago.

          Yes, and it depends what you want to accomplish.
