    Only you really know that. 

    Is starting your own business ever a reasonable thing to do? 

    To quote the title of the Barbara Sher book, "It's only too late if
    you don't start now." 

    You're young, presumably have few responsibilities and attachments.
    No giant house? No 10 kids? What's stopping you. Just do it. 

    I started my business as a teenager. 

    Just go downtown and file the paperwork. Or do it on line, however
    you guys do it in Australia. 

    Just start. Start making stuff, start selling. As you do that, on the
    side, start writing your marketing plan, your business plan. 

    Doing what you want to do will be healing for you.
