Job vs. own business

TechRepublic friends,

– I am 26.
– I have a full time public sector job.
– I am attending grad school.
– I have started my own Web development business on the side.

My public sector job is not challenging (and boring). The pay is average, but has good benefits. My own business is challenging and fun, but does not pay well (until I can put more time into it).

Do I quit my job and take a risk on my own business? Or continue with my current job until my business can pay the bills?

Losing my health, life, etc. benefits at the public sector job is a big negative of quitting. I feel like if I don’t get out of the public sector soon, I’ll be stuck in slow-moving boredom forever.
