That’s how I felt too, do more than plenty of work at the start to build a base, then add to it from time to time (to keep it fresh) and begin to generate income. Also, I would think it’s even more difficult to build and keep track of more than one site.

I have gotten various advice on whether I should get one or not by both sides, sorting through the pros and cons (along with rereading 10 reasons to never get a job, 10 self employment mistakes, etc.) and I still remain conflicted about it,
Pros:
-immediate income
-work experience (practically no one will hire without it)

Cons:
-loss of freedom
-no time for business (with a job AND full time college, might as well just scrap the site idea)
-looking for one (nowadays, not even entry level jobs will hire without experience, so looking for one could take weeks, and suck up lots of time)
