Right now most of my time is dedicated to developing my web hosting company, however I still continue to work part-time at a web design firm, that way I can still count on getting a steady pay check to pay the bills. Hopefully within the next 6 months or so my hosting business will be doing well enough to allow me to totally quit my 'day job' and focus solely on my business.

IMO its a good idea to get some experience working in a company before taking the plunge into starting your own business. Even if its just for three months you will get to see how they handle personnel/staff issues, what their business protocols are etc. You've still got alot of time, but at least consider getting a job for two months in the summer or something, preferably in an IT related company.

I dont need money myself yet, I dont spend hardly any money and being 15 i still pretty much depend on my parents.
Also, im not actually good enough YET to make anywhere near a decent amount from freelancing.

Started my biz freelancing at around 15, been growing ever since. Had a time when i was making 3k+ on web design alone per month ah the good ol days. Sadly Ive had to slow down much of my work for school purposes, but the clients still come in now and then. Never had a real job, small bits here and there for people, but nothing formal, and its almost been better that way. My first business sparked the next, and that sparked the next one, and so on.
