Become freelance webdev or programmer? >Shit retail job started

if you need to ask 4chan about this sort of thing you are not passionate enough to go through with this sort of thing. You need confidence (a trait you lack) to do freelance work.

>t.freelance web dev

Ive dabbled into html/css and c#. Really enjoy both, but would like to know which has more money in freelancing.

Lmao where this assumption coming from? How much you make bud?

>>61753333
They are right. If you are ready for it you will know. I make enough to pay for college and anything else I want to do by software contracting. If OP has to ask 4chan, OP doesn't know shit and will fail.

Try to work formally for some time, and in your free time you make some connections with people that might like your work.

Then, when you can make sure you can pay your rent and basic spendings some months quit your job and go freelancer.

Have a portfolio and print business cards to deliver to pretty much everybody.

>quit your job and go freelancer.
frogposter OP wouldn't make it, needs to stick with his day job until he's actually ready. no he's not going to become to next bill gates or zuckerburg, or even stallman

one doesn't just "go freelancer" you need clients, an agency, otherwise he may as well keep working at the horrible retail job and develop something in his spare time. better safe than sorry

if you haven't made any money doing it, you are not a freelancer

until then you're a hobbyist. there's no point in chasing such delusions

most in-demand freelance work is obj-c and webdev. iphone apps and web services. there's a reason it's a "meme" it pays.
