I started up an Internet idea(1st time) with the intention of getting something out of it. Initial goal was to learn how to code websites and work around like minded individuals; was answering customer svc calls at Comcast/Verizon. I started almost three years ago and never imagined the journey it would lead me on; being in publications, getting investment & other cool things. It was a great journey and amongst mentioned accomplishments, I also learned how to code & now am doing that for a living; making a lot more money! Overall it was better then going to college, as there was a chance of becoming wealthy or creating the latest whatever amongst gaining invaluable skills.
