Hey everyone, I'm here to ask for opinions and advice more then anything. I'm 18-a senior in high school. I would really like to move into my own apartment after I graduate. This is for personal reasons, but please note I want this for a reason other then the stereotypical "rebellious teenager wants to get away from his family," for anyone who was concerned or unwilling to help for that reason :P. Anywho, on to the matter at hand! I would like to learn some web-based language so I can do this because, obviously, a minimum wage job would not really be able to support me fully. And besides that, I have an interest in web development. With all this in mind, is PHP development a good place to head? Or would something like Freelance web development, JS, or SQL be better? How long would it take to fully learn PHP (or another language) if I dedicate ~5 hours a night to learning it? Do you think anyone would hire me if I built a good portfolio and gave them my "personal reasons," despite the fact that I have no degree? Any help would really be appreciated =]
And of course, thank you all in advance for any help! :D
