Oh come on, do you really think I'd do something that sensible?!
On a more serious note, I wouldn't know whether I'd get a job at a web design firm anyway which is a poor argument since I could always try.. Luckily I've got more arguments. Come on, read on, you know you'll love them!
This was always not so much about webdesign as slowly working my way towards a company. Why? Where do I start.. I love freedom, I think schedules cause many a mental illness in today's society and I just work more efficiently when I can work whenever I feel like it.
More importantly, I very much value my education over any work, so I need to be able to reduce my workload to no more than 0 hours in certain periods when work asks for all my time.
I want to work toward sustaining myself without a job. If I can make a small, constant living without a constant work input, that's great because that enables me to do other things in my life. I'm not lazy, I just want to do a shitload of things and while I can make money with a lot of them, it is different if you HAVE to make money with them.
Those other things? The best way to make profit out of them will be by selling products, for instance, ideally directly to the client.. so ideally with a company!
The webdesign/webhosting is just the beginning, really. More of a start so I have the groundworks there. I will have many things already sorted out, I will have some income that allows me to completely focus on something that doesn't give me an income for a while without feeling the pressure of being broke. When I finished creating some new product, I have the company to sell it myself, making money, allowing me to focus on something else!
A vicious circle of freedom.
I start driving lessons tomorrow so I think I'll go to bed now. Sorry for interrupting my rant, I may or may not continue later.
