Mobile apps is a good idea for getting a subscription base, as long as you are totally willing to accept that most or all of your apps will make zero dollars (and in the eyes of people with business degrees, actually cost you money). Once you are doing it for the sake of having a good time, you remove the disappointment inherent from the extreme likelihood that your apps won't make money, and you remove the stress that inevitably will make you stop. And then any reward you reap from those apps will just be icing on the cake of doing what you enjoy doing. If you are strictly only about the money, then the other advice here about doing side contract work is a better idea, since it will give you surefire money immediately, though with no possibility of scaling.
