Starting an internet business can be cheap, fun, and profitable. It takes a lot of time and energy, as well as creativity of course. Obviously it won't work for everyone, but if you can find something you enjoy doing and turn it into a career while being self-employed, that is the way to go. This is what I have been doing for four years now.

It is definitely nice not having to answer to a boss, an alarm clock, and an hourly wage. If you can get your foot in the door, go for it. Try and find some local entrepreneurs that you can gain some insight from. You don't necessarily need a formal education to start a business. I didn't, but YMMV.
