| You're heading in the right direction, but I'd actually recommend a different approach. Try working for a few places over the next couple years and build yourself a reputation as being good at what you do. Get some products shipped that you can point to. Build some side project stuff that you're proud of. Basically, get yourself employable. Then go off and start traveling with the laptop. You see, when you first start out, you're unlikely to find many people willing to pay you $75/hr to work from a Hammock in Laos. Who is this kid and what is he smoking? But if you're the kid that built X. You know, _X_! And he's available to work for us. I know, he has some silly demands about time off and we won't be able to get him on site, but hey, he built __X___!!! There's no doubt he'll deliver. Anyway, that's my 2 cents, having built X myself at your age and milked it into 10 years of living on beaches with a laptop. It's all good out here, so I definitely hope to see you on the road some day. But before you do, I'd recommend putting in the groundwork to make sure you can pull it off. |
