I'm just coming across this forum & have already found many great resources and info! I would like everyone's opinion on something...
I'm currently a senior in high school. In November I opened up an Etsy store selling decals, and many other items with vinyl on them (ex. cups). Over the past few months I have had an overwhelming amount of orders (Averaging $2000 revenue a month). This is just by working on stuff some week nights and weekend. I have so many more ideas that I just don't have time to complete. I LOVE what I do!
Time has now come to decide on a college, I have been accepted to all of my top choices. However, I would really love to open my own store. Sort of like a boutique with anything you can imagine with vinyl on it (license plates, cups, cake carriers, the list goes on and on). I have two different options I think:
A) Stop my business, and go to a college and get a degree to get a normal job.
B ) Open a store (already found one ) In a major city nearby, it's right near a huge university so I could take classes online/night classes.
I would just like opinions from other 'vinylers.' I am very passionate about my business and have put a lot of work into it. Opinions?
