I'm 25, and I'm in the same boat kinda. Read the book Rework, it is amazing.
As far as the out of the box ideas, don't think about making ideas to make money, solve problems...sometimes, try to solve problems people don't even know exist yet.
I just quit my job to do...whatever I'm going to do...full time. I've been saving money, and I just decided...I'm smart enough, dedicated enough, it's time. Do I suggest this for everyone? No, not really. I've been working at night on projects for about 9 months and I'm just ...ready.
I suggest more savings, more planning, and more working at night until you really decide its time. Run your own company, on your own time, until you get that ...urge. It may be 3 months from now, or 3 years. Either way, as long as you can pay your bills and eat, either with savings or side jobs. Do what you love, make tools you want, learn as much as you can, and change the world. Email me whenever you feel like. Tyler.Exposure (a) gmail.com
Haha I didn't read Rework yet but I read Getting Things Done which is by Jason Fried & DHH as well, amazing book.
[sometimes, try to solve problems people don't even know exist yet.]
This is an amazing and interesting advice, thanks for pointing it out!
[No, not really. I've been working at night on projects for about 9 months and I'm just ...ready.]
This is where I'm heading, it's been 6 crazy months working at night, with the software engineer job I currently have on the day. But the time is coming soon, I feel more and more ready everyday, I have faith in me and my peers are pushing me to it as well, timing seems excellent I really can't wait! Focusing on my day job is becoming really, really hard hehe.
Thanks a lot, this is very helpful and I'll sure email you soon! Thanks again!
