Thinking of getting back into scripting... Is it worth it?

Hey everyone
my name is Ilya, im 17.

when i was abotu 14, i got into scripting. i started iwth Perl/CGI, then took up php/mySQL. i had some pretty good scripts done, and made some money by installing/modifying scripts (mostly message boards, especially vBulleting and UBB) for various people. i probably made a combined of $800 or so over 2 years.

i haven't done any scripting in p[robably 2 years now. im thinking of getting bck into it, but is it really worth it? With so many awesome scripts out there, i am afraid that my work might go to waste. i mean, im not the best scripter out there. i used to be relatively good, but was all self-taught.
i wouldn't mind writing maybe a Top Sites or Poll or somethign liek that, but i really dont want to write it only to see no one use it...

any advice?
