Title: The thought of returning to corporate working kind of disgusts me. daily meetings, middle management bs, politics, bureaucracy... im sure your familiar with the typical complaints.<p>Ive realized I don&#x27;t seem to have any money generating skills, the only thing I seem actually be good at is making money for other people.<p>So im wondering if anyone has been able to use their coding skill to make a living that isn&#x27;t working in a business.<p>Things ive tried and thought about(please correct anything that seems wrong!):<p>monetizing hobbies - I see why people don&#x27;t recommend this, im not good enough anyway. to old to go pro at sports, not good enough or have credentials to teach.<p>coding tutoring and teaching - i tried this on codementor.io, there&#x27;s more mentors then people needing help, its competitive and doesn&#x27;t pay much when you consider how much extra work goes into it. I also don&#x27;t have a CS degree so it doesn&#x27;t seem like I can teach at a school. Maybe there are better ways to teach?<p>bug bounty chasing - I thought this would be easier then it really is. i guess its like a whole different skill set, interesting as a hobby but its going to take to long to get good. and its competitive<p>make a company or sell a thing software thing - I can code up my dream ideas with ease, what i don&#x27;t know how to do is market anything or get users. seems to be another skill that will take months and maybe not even turn out to do anything<p>freelance - compared to just working rates seem low and its hard to find work from what ive seen<p>If you have cool ideas or something worked out for you, id be interested in hearing them! Otherwise I need to get working on a resume, id rather not!
