    I'm a part-time web developer, more inclined to coding than designing. It's a terribly stressful job but it has its good moments. I would be interested in a career change, though, and I'm weighing my options right now. So, what can you brag with?

    I am currently working in a tech support role for a company of about 80 people. I do a fair bit of networking here too.

    This is a placement year for me during university. I go back next year to finish my degree in Computer Science.

    Currently in my second year of university as a mature student. I once self-published a novel, for all the good it did me.

    I used to have a part-time job at McDonald's before I moved to Malta. They payed like 5 euro per hour, which is a nice amount of pocket money. Now I don't have a job since I am a full-time student.

    I'm a graphics designer but I've been thinking of learning web development lately. I usually just design the elements in it and I'm curious whether or not I could pull off actually learning the mechanics behind the interface.

    Is there good money in it ? I would like to take the time to learn it but I want to see some type of solid income after the work I put in ?

    I am a bitcoin miner. I have my own hardware as well as a lot of cloud mining accounts. Bitcoin mining is a great way to earn an income with very little work Kind of HAHA. if you have machines like me it is that easy, if you dont have your own machines it culd be problematic in the beginning but once you get going its a pretty much sit back and collect routine.

    It's the same as most jobs, I guess. You could potentially earn as much or as little as you want depending on how well you do work or how well you market yourself as well as who you ultimately get to work for, etc. web design is probably a bit easier to find projects for, though, in my opinion, and it's why I'm going to start getting into it a bit more soon.
