But is it really realistic that I will make money doing this? I hear about all this freelancing etc..., but is that just to lure in dumb money into the industry? I just have trouble comprehending that I will be able to compete with the current force, especially when their foundation in CS is much more stable than my layman understanding. I will essentially just know how to write code for the sake of writing code. I won't understand assembly and compilers, etc...
- CyberFonic 13y agoIf earning money is your sole criteria, then you'd be better off doing what you already have qualifications for. You can learn about assembly, compilers, etc by reading a couple of good text books. There are some excellent video CS courses out there if you prefer that sort of tuition. Yes, there will be a period while you are learning and not earning. But that's how it was with your original degree - wasn't it? If you have a keen desire, then you will accomplish your goals. Read some Anthony Robbins, e.g. Awaken the Giant Within. Everything is possible, and you have to work for it, which means you really have to want it.
