Unless you are mega established in the industry then it's very tough to make a liveable wage in adult as a programmer. Your alternative is working for a corporation for loads of money and stability. Getting small projects done is now troublesome in ANY industry - not just programming. If I have a loose floor tile, no one is going to come and reattach one tile. It took me 3 months to even get someone to come give me a quote to do a stone fascade on my house. 3 months JUST TO GET A QUOTE. I couldn't even get as far as someone telling me too much and me telling them to fuck off. I wanted to expand my driveway a bit (paving stone) and again unless you are building an ikea parking lot no one wants to come do it.
