I'm a recent college graduate trying to bring my internet passions to a sustainable level. As an entrepreneur, the day-in and day-out is very difficult and requires a great level of commitment. I could not be more happy--working on something you love is the greatest feeling in the world; albeit, at times I wish I had left it behind for some else to fall victim.
Although startups are gaining quite a bit of attention, especially by the younger crowd, there were not many students pursing them at my school--most were directed to premed, law...careers. Actually, I was premed as well throughout college... unfortunately, they worked you hard enough that you hardly had time for other passions.
Facebook's IPO really didn't have much of an impact on me or my web entrepreneur outlook. However, it does underscore the fickle and often precarious nature of web based companies. As a web entrepreneur you have to be perfectly comfortable, or wholly enjoy, instability. Although I am not sure of facebook's future directions, never before the existence of web based companies has the rise and fall been so quick. Is is a truly a rapid and ever changing industry that requires constant evolution.
