Strong agree. Building on the side seems like a smart, low-risk move, and you could try it to see if it works for you. But it's easy to fail to maintain enthusiasm/momentum when working on the side, simply because you don't have the time/brainspace to devote to it. Experimenting with/failing at a side-project won't prove that trying to start a full-time project/startup isn't for you.
