I started as a hobbyist and started selling a couple of website solutions. I got hired as a "real" dev and earned more money than I ever did previously. Over a decade later, I'm in a principal role and I am not sure how I could match my comp doing my own thing. I'm not an entrepreneur, though it would be cool to disrupt something in math education, competing with SAP in a smaller niche like warehouse operations, or a couple others, and exit with >$10M having created rewarding jobs and careers for others. Thy would be cool. But I am paid really well and imagine it would take years and a lot of luck to make up the lost income.
