Forget school... I did political science and realized I wanted to be a developer instead. I dropped out and started a web development company with virtually no experience. I learned along the way and never showed my ignorance to a client. If I wanted to know how to do it, I took the job and did it. Now I've done it all and am a very experienced developer. Make your own path and stick to it.
- glitch273 14y agoI would love to do something like this but how did you get your first few clients? I don't have very many friends or family in the tech scene so its been hard to get started. I'm trying to build a web app to show that I can do it but having paying clients would definitely speed up the process.
- websitescenes 14y agoI built a company website made a company name and then just started asking businesses that had a weak web presence if I could help. I also advertised on Craigslist and job boards like elance. At first you'll get absolute shit jobs and barely make it but the more you do, the more people know about you and the better the work gets. I did some wierd projects that no one else would take in the beginning. Don't get me wrong, it takes sacrifices in the beginning but the work is there.
