Accidental Tech Entrepreneurs Turn Their Hobbies Into Livelihoods
Mitch Wagner at InformationWeek:
Most people who pull down a paycheck dream of making a living at their hobby. For IT managers, the dream is more within reach than it is for most professionals, as their technical skills can give them a head start in building businesses on the Web.
A supertalented few have even made fortunes. How do they do it? We went straight to the sources, interviewing tech pros who turned their cyberhobbies into full-time jobs. Many of them truly were accidental entrepreneurs; others at least had an inkling they could make a go of it. All were helped along by a business-fertile Internet environment, their raw ambition, supportive spouses, and a little luck.
They haven’t all become rich, but they’re all making a living at what they used to do for fun.
