Title: Hey All,<p>Bit of an odd, specific question here, but I think it brings up an interesting discussion, so here goes -<p>If I have 6 months to get my web development skills to a level where I can be paid $35+&#x2F;hour freelancing, what&#x27;s the best way to go about it?<p>Now a couple things I want to mention to help keep the question clear: the timeline is somewhat arbitrary (give or take a few months), but for personal reasons I&#x27;d like to be able to quite my current job and move home for at least a year, while still being able to make some money (hence the freelancing). Also, I do have beginner&#x2F;intermediate level experience with HTML, CSS, Java and C++, but nothing that anyone would pay for right now.<p>So, with all that being said, what&#x27;s the best way to go about positioning myself to make money as a freelancer in the very near future? Is it possible in that timeline? What language(s) should be focused on, and where&#x2F;how should I learn? And what projects should I do to prove to someone that I&#x27;m worth hiring?<p>Edit: One other note, learning to code at a high level is something I&#x27;ve been wanting to do for a while, so this isn&#x27;t just a &#x27;one year and done plan.&#x27; After my hypothetical sabbatical, I&#x27;d like to join a start-up as an engineer and use the programming skills I&#x27;ve acquired. Anyway, thank you for the help. I&#x27;m interested to see the responses.
