Should I do it?

It's been a while since I blogged last. A lot has gone on.
I'm now in the last summer break I will have. ;-;
I graduate university this time next year and i'm not sure how I feel about it haha. I'm so excited for my final year and have so many plans for it but it's so scary that after that I'm out into the world of independence and work. Gah!
For a while now I have been thinking of setting up an Etsy shop specialising in posters, graphics and illustration. I've figured out a style and got a lot better and also my graphic art, especially vector art, is much better too. I aim to sell at comic con eventually, that's something I have wanted to do for years. I also want to create my own comic book, and this shop may help me get towards those goals.
However I'm not sure. I'm looking into setting it up and it's going to be time consuming, expensive and it might not even work. I have everything all planned. Logo designed, products decided on and priced up, just need to make them and buy the prints to then sell to customers, but it could easily cost me quite a lot to get all the materials together and could take months to get a profit. My friend has had an Etsy shop for a year now and has just hit the 50 sales mark so not sure if it's worth it. I don't know what to do. haha.
It has all it's benefits as it'll look good to an employer of the design industry I will be going into when I graduate and it's something fun on the side to get extra money and stuff but will it just be a waste on time.
The dilemmas of a creative person lol.
So much stress about the future and i'm only 20 lol. I'm just hoping everything falls into place eventually over the next year.
