Good you are this young. You have one thing others(older than you) don't have, a lot more time - as in actual time, number of days. >>continue your education @lutusp said it Yes, indeed. And just in case the tempting 'rebellion' thought of I-droped-out-of-school/college-to-build-this-build-that kicks in, just weigh what you might be losing. You might be losing those life-long friends, pranks, drunken brawls, night-outs, heartbreaks and falling in love all over again &c &c. Now, for some people this is less important. Just think about it and then take a decision. Your post doesn't mention leaving school but seeing you are so much aware at this tender age and restless I thought I will chip in with my unsolicited advice. Here are few things you can do to make money: * Write some apps and put it on app stores - I think Google Android is a good place to start. There are lots of iOS apps that are not even available on Android. Hordes of quality apps can be written for Android(yes, paid ones). >>no sane person that'd hire me for any freelance work * contribute to open source - it will help you to build up credibility. It's not about you being young - it's about out of those 1^billion trillion coders out there, that sane person doesn't know if you are a real deal and most probably he doesn't have time to figure you out. * Try freelancing portals and in the meantime do the above mentioned ^ * Keep having fun - do all this in spare time :-)
