To Write or Not To Write

Yesterday I stumbled across an opportunity to write for a website that's just starting up. The site's subject is something I'm reasonably knowledgeable about and I happen to have written blog posts on the subject. The problem, at the moment, is that the position wouldn't be a paid position unless the website gets to be successful.

I can do this theoretical job, easily, and probably be one of their best writers, but the question is do I want to divert my desired career path long with the hopes of getting paid when I have no income and plenty of free time to write as I please? This job could lead to cash a lot sooner for me and represents additional experience I could use, but then again, the website could utterly fail...

Decisions, decisions...
