Pros & Highs...
- My resume is nifty; neat/awesome jobs are easy to land
- Been accredited for creating first of its kind idea
- Alway receiving spontaneous applause when demoing due to concepts being novel/cool
- Featured in many tech publications
- Receiving seed money
- Winning awards at tech events
- Exciting things happen for weeks in a row
Lows...
- Being pretty much broke & in debt
- G/f of many years wants stability before kids
- Doing this pretty much alone & at my age (late 30s) connecting w/local techies has been tough. Though I've tried.
- Nothing going on for weeks in a row
- Not able to keep cool job opportunities for more then a year. Those who hire me are cool with my start-ups then not
- INSTABILITY!!!
Is it worth it, for me YES, as the highs I noted above can never be experienced at 9 to 5 desk job! Though I do long for stability as I want to have a family.
Here are my personal highs and lows....
