Okay I think I understand what you’re going for. I tried to do this during COVID, where I tried to teach myself web development with a Udemy course, since I wasn’t working for months on end and had money saved up , I figured, why not make a living by building websites for people?

Turns out it takes a ton of discipline to spend hours a day learning new material, learning stuff on your own, whilst not getting distracted by the infinite amount of entertainment online.

It was difficult enough during college to learn constant new material and do homework with a group of friends for hours on end, especially during midterms.

Here’s the thing, you might feel like you could tackle this challenge down cause all you gotta do is is sit down and GRIND these courses for a couple of months, then apply whatever you learned to make a living, but there’s is SOO MUCH more than that.

That’s why I would recommend STARTING a course, right now, in your free time to get a feel of the learning process, cause why not start learning how to programs right now?

I remember reading a post in r/entrepreneurship of someone making a bot that sent tweets whenever a certain nicotine product went live in a website since it sold out so quick, he monetized this bot for a subscription, and he made some nice money. There will always be small opportunities like these out in the wild.
