RE: Today's an Awesome Day | Got Tiered Up to 500 Shirts on Amazon Merch
Is this a good starting point if I want to shift from 9-5 job to entrepreneurship?

It's a great opportunity with a low cost of entry. I'd say it's a good hustle for a side job but I wouldn't quit my job even if I was making twice as much money on Amazon Merch. You are basing your business on their platform and they can drop you at any time. And they do. All the time.
Now if you use it as one form of income and have a couple others like Steemit, YouTube, etc. then yeah, leave your 9-5. Either way, I'd apply because it takes anywhere from 3 weeks to 8 months to get accepted into the program. Good luck.
There are some guys out there making 5k or more a month however like @bodyinbeta said even if you're making 15k a month, it could all come to a halt any day if Amazon suspends your account or ends the program or changes the commissions or base prices of shirts. Because its a third party ie you don't control it you don't have much control over your situation.
It is a nice little side hustle though, can be very passive and you could always expand it into an apparel line or tee shirt store on shopify as well or something so lots of room to grow it.
I'm a huge fan of having multiple income streams so get merch rockin, do youtube, publish some kindle books, maybe create a digital product, get a whole bunch of different things going.
Yeah i think it's one of the best opportunity but as @bodyinbeta and @rulesforrebels said, don't put all your eggs in one basket. You can use that money to hire designers, upload more designs, make more money and use that money for differents projects.
I tried different things to make some money on internet and MBA seems the most promising for me. If you know how to use photoshop and illustrator, that's a big plus.
And congratulations @rulesforrebels, time to upload more designs! 😜
