Yes! About a year after finishing school, I started an LLC to sell an electronics kit [1] that I was working on and also as an entity to receive income from an Android app's advertisements. It's been great; I'm not quite in the black yet but I'm already experiencing some growing pains for hand-assembling these power supplies, and android ads pay my cell phone bill plus a little extra. It's kind of neat to be able to say "yes, I build these things from scratch, based on my own knowledge and research, due to risk from my own pocketbook, while working full time." Also, I've met some very cool people (whose work I had only previously admired from afar!) because I had questions about a library they wrote or was improving a design of theirs, not to mention starting to form a set of people who I can email for advice (from how to make PCBs to the best tape to order from ULine.) Highly recommended! [1] http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3054861 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3054861
