Ask HN: Chef by Day, Programmer by Night?
3 by Poblamoce | 2 comments on Hacker News.
I work 200+ hours a month and I love my work and my profession, but I also have a real love for computers and programming. I study programming and computer security in my free time. I've recently been wondering if I could make a few bucks on the side with what I'm learning, but I struggle to find what specifically I could do. What are are my options, and what should I focus on learning? Is being a web dev my only freelance option? I doubt I'd be able to do anything where I couldn't work from home on my own time. Also, for those of you who are in the same boat as me; how do you manage to juggle professions? Are you able to make time for things other than work in your life, or is your professional life all consuming?
