Intro. To make money even without a company
These days, I'm thinking about my fifties.
'What am I doing in my fifties?
Can I still work as a programmer in company?'
I am a programmer, who does not have any special skill in any field.
I started programming with web programming for the first time at 25, except for univ.
I dreamed to be a full stack web developer back then.
Because web programming was so interesting to me.
While I was looking for a job, I noticed that web programmer can't make lots of money, because there were tons of web programmer already in Korea.
And The most companies didn't want beginner.
But I had no choices.
What I can do was only web programming.
I could be recommended by my prof and I went to a security software company.
At the company, I worked with C# and C++ on Windows. Of course web too.
I thought it was a chance.
Because back then, windows programmer could make money more than web programmer.
It had tons of work but I was happy. I felt my skill level was improved and I was being a real programmer.
After moving the company to my current company here, I had to do new sort of works again. It was node.js and Selenium project. As I progressed those projects, I was able to deal with Reactjs.
I opened my eyes to new world.
Javascript, Github, Huge communities, etc...
At the first thing that I felt was "I have to learn English".
In end of 2017, I couldn't speak English at all. Just I could say few words for surviving.
That's it.
To communicate with other developer, English was not an option. It was necessary.
Since today, I want to share my thoughts and progress of my study course.
I want to know other people's thoughts.
What is my goal?
I wanna make money even without a company.
I can make enough money now even though I didn’t work hard.
Kind of these life is not bad. It is rather better than the opposite case.
But I think, for me now, can’t make money without a company.
So I can’t quit my job, at least now.
I don't dream to be a Digital nomad.
That's not my goal.
I just want, when I try to do something, that the company location isn't to be a problem.
To do that, I have to be able to make money myself.
