Students in domain business

[domainuncle]

it seems that there are handful number of students in domain business. I have met few in other forums as well and here I can see many -at least those I am in touch with.
Is this business an alternative to part time job?
Pour your ideas . what do you guys think over it?
By the way I am a student of engineering.
Hope the list continues.

You can do this as a part-time job, but it tends to get very very time-consuming.

I absolutely agree with you. Anyway, now study is a part time job for student.

For me its a hobby that brings in enough revenue each month so I can go out and have a good time, and see the music I enjoy

I'm also a Grad student in Cambridge MA (studying Government). I will be headed to law school next fall.

If you would, give us a little bit more details? What's your college/university? Anyone else going to school in Cambridge or Boston Ma?

Im in computer engineering and do web development as a part time. Besides from the good money, it is also good experience in the field.

I'm a Commerce student...been domaining since well before I started university and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Second year Civil Engineering student at Exeter, UK. Domaining is a great way to make money, and I find it easy to understand and hope to master it some day. I am mainly here to have a very healthy bank balance when University ends, and then consider whether I will continue or not.

grad school myself... domaining is basically a part time job for me (well maybe a few more hours than just part time) I have another part time job as well as go to school, but the wife enjoys the money I make from this stuff.

Medicine student here, 1st faculty of medicine, Prague.
Domaining is one of my hobbies and a nice source of secondary income. I hope it becomes my main source of income in the near future.

instead of doing part time jobs, it seems some students have been clever enough to work with domains. i'm also a student major in international relations, economics and political science.

 

[scrsteven]

Industrial Engineering student here. The money is... great. My roommate makes like $18 an hour at a real summer job and I just sit here at my comp and make way more and enjoy it.

 

[droplister]

hs student, have a summer job, and work now and then with my dad at marinas. Otherwise domaining is my thing. I plan to go to college for computer science and marketing cause im done with outsourcing

 

[Ian]

it seems some of us here have really great hopes and plans for our domain futures. long live domaining business!!

 

[domainuncle]

but investment must have been difficult for students. It must have been a trouble to buy generic names. But nice to see that students are one of the players in domain industry

^ Interestingly enough all the money I have and use for domains is profits from the industry.

Started out with designing logos and templates, eventually moved onto building and selling entire websites. And here I am today.

It is such a steady income that I have never lost money on a website, and everything I have now is from web development!
