I’m currently a University student doing a placement year as part of my degree. Working as a programmer for an analytical sciences company. It’s quite enjoyable but I have my own business plans in the pipeline.

I am finding it really hard at times to find the time to actually do my own work though. Living away from my girlfriend during the week means weekends are spent 100% with her, giving me a few hours after work each night to try and get as much done on my project.

I really am hoping this will all pay off in the end, I’d love to beable to complete my final year of university without any big money worries. Even if I can only make enough to support myself for the year…

I was 4 years doing the job, the reason i left is, the company does not provide enaough pay for my future life.

But, the day job was a learning field about everything.

Now i am quite happy with my freelance work, the work is triple but the pay is more than tripled than my day job.

I mean you can depend on static, steady income without to bother about how find ways to keep is being this way.</p> Day jobs can be very relaxing too.

But really the only way to survive is to motivate yourself and always keep up to date on what is going on in the outside world. I have seen so many people get stuck in whatever state they come in at (can you say mainframe and cobalt).

However, at times I hear something deep down in the inner depths of my soul, it is the entrepreneur in me screaming: “I am William Wallace!” With a slightly drunken slur of course.

Especially the failure reason. Having a job gives you the chance to "sandbox" some ideas. Maybe a couple radical ones that might not have a great chance of making it. At least your not putting all your eggs in that basket.</p> <p>By the way: Best William Wallace reference, EVER!</p> Great article. Especially the failure reason.
