Been coding and learning for 3 years and still don’t even feel close to try and look for a job. FUCK. Don’t wanna be a valet driver forever.

freelancer?

@sandeepbalan perhaps, but I don’t even know where I would start. I don’t even know if I have the skills to do that. My JavaScript skills are pretty decent. CSS is where my hopes and dreams crash and burn. I have no vision for design. My own templates look like a dog shit them out.

@tropicalTaquito What were you doing last 3 years? mobile development?

@sandeepbalan web development. I just think way too hard about a problem and it takes me forever to figure it out and then someone explains it to me, I feel so stupid for not getting a solution sooner. I’m just a shitty web dev. Lol. I wanna be better but I just kinda suck .

@sandeepbalan probably a student?

@asgs a student of too many sources. I struggle with one and I try to jump to the next and I’ve been doing that for 3 years.

@tropicalTaquito don't worry, man. It happens. Especially the way Web Dev has evolved in the last decade

@tropicalTaquito What was the problem ? Give it a try here

@sandeepbalan well right now I’m doing the treehouse techdegree and it’s a fuckin pain in the ass when I don’t get the help I need or no one responds to me on a question I have. I thought about doing a coding boot camp but here in vegas there’s only like two of them. One of them is super expensive and the other doesn’t come to Vegas till October. I’m just unsure what I wanna do because I’m paying 200$ a month for this techdegree and I’m only on the 3rd unit out of like 10 and it’s been like almost 4 months. I feel like I’m getting...somewhere but at a snails pace. I just turned 25 and I feel just late to the game. Feel like I should of gotten a job by now but I just have no idea what I’m even looking at sometimes.

@tropicalTaquito you sound like you need to dive into some real projects and get your hands dirty.

3 years of webdev you should have something to show for it by now?
Github all your personal projects and start applying for jobs,They don't need to be "pretty", as long as they work, also jump on fiver / freelancer ect. and start building up a portfolio of client work.

@C0D4 i have to clean out my git hub. I have a lot of projects that I put up there when I first started. I tried to use it as a “look how I’ve gotten better” kind of thing on a portfolio, but I learned people aren’t really interested in that. The tree house projects I’ve done are really good, but I think it’s time to branch of it. I’m stuck on a simple problem right now and I’m basically paying 200$ a month the last month just to figure this one part of a project out. I still have a few more tasks on it after this and it’s stressing me out because my money is slipping away while I’m stuck on one thing.
