I could watch her make music for hours.

@jiraTicket Yes exactly right!

Don't undervalue your android skills! My friend makes really simplistic Transit Apps that tell you what time the bus comes at. They are horrible and have ads everywhere but he makes at least 1000 a month in ad revenue. Focus on solving a problem you have, and think to yourself, would other people have this problem? If you think at least 10% of the population has the same problem as you, then build a solution!

I recently figured out the problem you have!. Its simple; you have to search for a project you REALLY care about. You don't need a beginner issue. Tackle something that bothers you on a project you used. And if they don't merge in your changes. Import your own fork of the project instead of theirs.
