Photography?

Many of my friends and family have encouraged me over the years to get into photography. I have given pictures to family, and have been offered to be paid by others. Seeing as I am still job searching and currently unemployed, I have had a lot of time to think, and I think it is something I would enjoy. Am I good enough? That I am not so sure of! If I were to start, it would be small sessions, until I grew comfortable (I am not about to tackle a wedding of 300 people by myself, no thanks!). I took photography in college, and considered majoring in it, but decided against it because our only major offered was "photojournalism" and that didn't quite interest me. If I were to do this, the most intimidating factor is just getting started! Although, it is kind of an exciting thing to think about! My brother is a know-it-all of computers, so throwing together a website would be no big deal for him. I will post some of my pictures later so you all can tell me what you think, but am I crazy for wanting to try?
