Unfortunately, working for free isn't an option for me. On the other hand, I also don't need the $5500+/mn that tech giants like Google and Facebook pay.

I am between my Freshman and Sophomore year now, but I am looking forward to hopefully finding an internship for next summer. I like the idea of doing my own thing if that doesn't work out. I'd still have to work, but I'm sure I would have more than enough time for a side project.

I'm going to be working with one of the CS professors at my school for 2 months starting on Friday, hopefully that will give me a leg up on the competition when it comes time to find an internship. What do you think?

Start your own company immediately. You can give your day job higher priority, but definitely try your hand at this life! In 3 years when you graduate you will be thankful for the experience, or for the extra money you'll have in your pocket.

Don't plan to fail.
