Freelancing!

Idk what kind of questions you have but

If you're a college student then the best place to start freelancing is probably Pangea

I've taken a few contracts from there, and it helps because they have a process that lets you become hand-vetted as opposed to just being thrown to the wind

The trade-off is that the contracts are all a bit lower than what you'd make normally. The hourly rate is at minimum $15, but the highest contract I've seen on the platform is only 60 and that was for people with a lot of experience

At the end of the fiscal year, they send you 1099 forms and all payment methods are done via Stripe. The way hours are counted are just that you'd add em to your logs within the website.

In terms of skill-set? I'd say the best possible type of skill-set to have is a mix of modern languages/frameworks like JavaScript/React/Python/Flask/Django etc. That said, if you think that maybe investing some time in low-code platforms make sense then learning Flutter, Bubble etc is worth it
