Re: Help Me HN: I am getting overwhelmed
#524-5k a month is more than enough to make a hire. Think of it this way: What is your time worth to you? Would you rather work your ass off and make 5k, or have a sane workload, make 2k for a while, which then rises as you have adequate internal infrastructure to support growing sales and users? It sounds like you have a good thing going, and I'd strongly recommend at looking to get another pair of hands involved - or…
As he apologised for his English (which as an aside is perfectly acceptable) I'd assume that figure isn't in dollars or pound sterling. Possibly euros but that again would seem to be enough to get someone else involved in the project.
Safe to assume he converted into USD. I would have if I didn't use the £ symbol.

#53Have you talked to your school about what you are doing? They may be able to 1) give you credit for what you are doing and /or 2) assign other students to help you for class credit. Also count your blessings, there are a lot of people your age who would love to have your problem.
or, sadly, with some schools 3) decide they own the copyright on your work while you are a student
best wish and good luck

#54Going to disagree with a lot of people, but drop out of school for a semester. I did that and I don't regret it in the least. School was a large waste of time and it took me a long time to see that. YMMV.
Most hiring managers I have worked with completely ignore schoolwork. It often ends up being a poor predictor of actual working ability.
Around here the only real exceptions to that rule are defense contractors. I believe there's something in their contracts with the government where they can charge more for people who have higher degrees, doesn't even matter what type of degree you have.

#55Don't hire anyone, find a partner and share responsibilities. That's how business grows. You should be happy, you have a very good income, especially considering your age.

#56Earlier quoted context omitted.
As we know there not just 3 currencies in the world. It could be Yen, Rupee or Ugandan shilling or any one of the 180 currencies.
Sure, but why provide the information if it's in Triganic Pu - I think it's fair to assume he meant USD, unless otherwise indicated, otherwise it's just an utterly contextless number.
Why would that be safe to assume? Most of us don't use use usd, just a small, vocal minority.

Look, dickbrain, I don't use USD either, but this isn't a political argument, it's just that when people give an amount without a currency they typically mean USD.
The OP could clarify this but has chosen not to.

My apologies, you are quite right. The single most important thing is what currency he meant, and I was clearly being pro-America and anti-semitic by assuming he meant USD.
What do you want? A pound of flesh?

I would like to apologise for my bad advice. Do nothing. Continue struggling. I cannot tell you anything unless you clarify what currency you are earning in.
My sincere apologies for wasting your time.

#60OP, if you are serious about needing help, I'd love to offer my services for free. I am the same age as you and would love to take this project on to explore and develop myself in this aspect.
