I recently graduated with a Master's degree in Computer Science and have been programming in my spare time for about 10 years. (I focus on C/C++, WINAPI, and Windows Driver Development). I would like to work towards becoming financially independent in the long run. I would also love to be able to work from home. One idea would be to work as a freelancer. Am I on a wrong path or are there experienced programmers who would encourage me for this path? Do you have any tips on how to start your career as a freelancer?
Thanks in advance
I am from Germany and I am going to finish my master's degree in computer sciences in about a year.
I've developed Windows drivers in my free time and in a team project in the university.
I also plan to focus my master's thesis on Windows kernel development.
However, I have looked for jobs in that area and it's hard to find them.
Did I pick a wrong field and should try to focus on other stuff? I really enjoy it though and it would be sad if all the knowledge I gathered in that field will be lost.
Do you have advice?
Thanks!
