Hello everyone, glad to be here! Let me tell you a bit about myself:
I'm a 21-year-old (aspiring) entrepreneur. I have a humble $8000 in my bank account and I'm currently living in my car (yep, you read that correctly) while learning how to program. Luckily, my expenses are around $300-500/month, so I have more than enough time to code the product I'm looking to create.
*flashback transition*
As a 3rd-year university student majoring computer-science, I started to make contact with the industry, and I realized that I was on a path to become another code-monkey working 8hr/day in a dark room making somebody else rich. I thought to myself, "There MUST be another way!" That's when I came across Unscripted . It blew my mind with every chapter, and I knew this was what I was looking for. After reading TMF , I dropped out of college to make create something of my own, and here I am.
Many of my friends and family suggested that I should just finish my 3rd & 4th year, get my degree, go into a $100,000/year entry CS job, save money, then work on starting my company down the line. Perhaps I'm reckless/impatient, but I have $8000. That means that I can start NOW. Time is the most important resource I have, so spending 3-4 years just to "start with more money and backup jobs" seems insane to me. On the bright side, my college academic advisor did tell me that because of my shining 3.98 GPA, reentering college would not be a problem (not that I plan to), so I use this to calm down my (understandably) triggered parents/peers.
Either way, it's do or die time for me! Find your friendly-neighborhood homeless entrepreneur at your local Starbucks, bumming off wifi, and wracking his brain because of his (temporarily) inadequate programming skills!
