Personally, I think having tech skills is ultimately where all the money is at. I can't help but think of Facebook, Google, and Microsoft all projects started by men who had programming skills that were leveraged into billionaire dollar businesses.
The problem is time. It takes years (some say 10 years in fact) to really develop proficient programming skills. However, once you have those skills, it's game on!
But is it worth all that time? I'll be, hypothetically speaking, 34 years old when I'm getting started on building my fastlane business! The other option would be of course, to hire other people to build the "software" (I don't actually have a solid idea yet of what that software will be), and build the business from there. With this option, by 34 years old I would be towards exiting the business. However, I would have to rely on (read: pay) other people to handle all of the technology: to create it, troubleshoot it, maintain it, and upgrade it. I lose some control, but gain back some time.
What do y'all think, which path should I head down?
