Random question:
Does anyone entirely support themselves by trolling places like elance for jobs?
I thought about attempting it a couple of years ago (obv so I can work on the beach in Thailand
), but I don't know if I have the ability to compete with a billion Indian/Pakistani programmers...
Also appeared that there was a fair few companies (for lack of better word) that were bidding on projects with the intention of further subcontracting them... Seemed pretty cut-throat. Maybe I'm just being precious.
fwiw, I'm 27, no family, no physical assets, no debts... Although I do have a very cushy, well paid job.
