Work or Studies, which would YOU choose?

[Orsorum]

I would keep with the business, if it comes to it, and save as much as you can... then, if the bottom does drop out, pick up your studies when you can.

I say take the risk.

Save and inveset money wisely so you have can go back to Uni if it comes to the worse.

You don't need a degree if you got this far with what you have. If I was in your situation I'd work full time. But at the same time I'd try and think of a way to plug the 2nd year gap with something else.

good luck

I graduated last year with a degree in Finance, and from experience, I can tell you that work history far outweighs education. Especially in your case. Being able to begin a business, and have it successful at that, speaks volumes for your resume. If your salary is approaching 7 digits like you say, then you should have absolutely no reason to worry at all. As a college student, I was able to live off about $12,000/yr. So what if your company goes down. Save your money, don't buy the Viper, and you'll be just fine. I had a friend who jumped on the dot.com era and made a boat load of money. He found a good job, so he bailed out of college and went with it. He made his money, then once the bubble popped, he went back to school. He'll be graduating this year, and he has a hell of a lot of money in the bank. Leaving school isn't permanent, you can always go back. Finish up your semester, then hit the road to sell your product. Good luck!

I started the company with just under $1000 dollars just over two years ago now. We have 7 employees, 6 full-time, 1 part time. They all serve in the tech support, we have actualyl created a program which allows for an "admin" to choose at what times, what the student can do at the lapto. And at others, they can do anything. The teacher is also able to take control of all students laptops while in the class, and bring on anythig they'd like.

We always have these places pre-pay, then there is a 2 week holding period whiel we setup the program on every laptop (as we do not clone it, due to the fact each user has a different id, and when making the program we did not set it up in a way which allowed cloning.

I know how much I could live off of, but the thign is, I dont want to be limited. I want to know that if I go into this choice, I'll be able to live off it and live lavishly. Not spend a little so I can stretch out what i've made over a very long time
