If you make a throwaway app every 2 days, that's 400 apps in a little over 2 years. That's far less time than it takes to go to college and get a bachelor's degree. When you're done, you've got enough income to live off of, and you can work on anything you damned well please.

I don't know that I necessarily agree with Max's premise, but I don't think timing is that big an issue (assuming everything else works out).
