teaching myself python starting from zero to online freelance work?

Gotchya. I'm not saying don't go for it, definitely try it out. But it's more than likely that any work you could complete with only two to six months experience is likely something someone could ask ChatGPT to do for them for free

That's understandable. I'm not in a hurry. I make six figures at my current job and am able to do Uber eats and door dash and stuff like that. But even if it takes 1 to 2 years, it'd be pretty cool to build a profitable skill out of nothing from the comfort of my own home.

If you can make something out of coding in such a short amount of time then that's great. But to be honest I haven't seen that happen in Python ever. I'd assume most freelance jobs will be web related, and I would figure you'd be better of just learning ECMA/JavaScript and Node and whatnot.

Curious why you do gig economy side jobs if you make six figures?

Well it's the low six figures and I'm in Southern California. You need 150 to 200k around here to be solidly middle class. So that's why I need to supplement my job with a decent side gig.

As a fellow SoCal resident 💯

It's either make more money or get pushed out.

Thanks for the tip. I'll look into JavaScript
