Ask HN: Selling my startup, is it a good decision?

I finally decided to sell my startup, I wasn't really sure if I wanted to continue to improve the website or to just sell it. It's been almost a year since I am trying to do "business". Sadly the fun ends here for me, college and life in general is too expensive for me to keep up (just doing my startup).

I didn't raise capital but I was able to get revenue just from my own marketing skills.

If you would be in my place, would you quit college and try to squeeze every little cash you have in order to keep the startup or would you continue college ?

    Continue college so that you can learn and build up your business and technical skills. You will be able to create a better startup with a better set of skills, experiences and personal network - develop these while you're in college!

    It's impressive that you've built a business in the first place. Try not to second guess your decision as you will probably go on to do bigger and better things :)

    I would go with your gut.
