You have a skill that a lot of people need to utilize but don't have time to, or don't want to learn themselves.

From your very informative and helpful post, I am assuming you are new to the industry.

Expect to eat dirt for a minute, get an internship somewhere, do some no-charge freelance to build your portfolio.

Right now your only potential asset (if you are wise enough to accept it) is your price, I am still getting significantly less than my coworkers because I am very new to the industry. It's about the only leverage you can get if you're starting out, especially with no prior connections in the industry.

Good luck, my fellow newbie.

Thanks. May I rephrase the question to "How can I make more money?"?

I started freelancing sometimes in October last year. I am active on freelancer.com and it's has been exciting simply because I chose a niche (Java) where im experienced in.

So you can try freelancing. I'm also considering remote work.

This kind of sarcasm comes across as unwelcoming and condescending; please reconsider the way you express yourself on this site, especially to newcomers.

Ahh, my bad, didn't mean to offend anyone. I will keep an eye on my sarcasm.
