I swear this sort of thing strikes me as 10X the trouble as just getting a job. Even if you write something that others want (highly unlikely, let's be honest), trying to monetize it adds so much hassle to the whole thing, it isn't worth it. Easier to get a remote gig and just fund the project that way.
