Backup Job for a Business Owner/Web Designer?

    Alright here's the deal, I'm 20 and run my own web design business. I don't plan on letting my business fail nor walk away from it but a backup plan would be better then nothing. What other jobs could I get with my experience? I've been doing this for almost 8 years now.

    Thanks in advance :)

    You could always be a waiter or waitress. They make good tips.

    You could teach web design at your local school district's adult education program. You can also check the yellow pages for computer literacy schools in your area, some of them offer web design classes.

    You should consider optimizing your site and throwing some Adsense in there to gain some extra income. I can't understand why you have not done this already!

    Learn new skills/ languages. Be up to date with the technology. Enhance your writing skills.

    Why would you want to? If your business fails you just start again. I guess you could be a hired web designer instead of freelance, but you lose freedom and probably money in exchange for the job security.

    I think you should make a website on tutorials and web design tips. That can get you lots of traffic and earnings.
