I admit it's irrational to view getting a job as failing. However irrational it may be though, at the moment it is still my viewpoint. In the future this may change. I completely agree that getting a job can be a valuable experience and I could certainly use some perspective. What I am concerned about is whether I can realistically manage to develop for 8 hours a day at work, come home, and develop for 1-4 more hours. Even if I did manage to do it, how much time does that leave me for other activities? Not to mention, the feedback loop would be absurdly long for anything but the most trivial weekend projects. All this said, if my parents decide to cut me off tomorrow, I'm immediately looking for a job. I want independence. I want self-sustainability. I know a job can provide them. But before I start looking for a job, I want to finish my project and see if it's as promising as I anticipate. If it flops, at least I tried. Is there anything wrong with this? I suppose it depends on how long it takes to get things done. I do not want to be in this position 6 months from now, being 90% done instead of 80% done.
