icor1031 Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 (edited) I've been learning programming with the hope of being able to get work at home with decent pay and semi-reliable job offers. However, I'm disabled and it would be difficult to work on-site. Is it a waste of time, am I going to have great difficulty finding work?

The biggest thing to figure out is exactly how you want to work. Do you want to be self-employed? Work for a development firm?

icor1031 Posted September 23, 2014 Author Share Posted September 23, 2014 (edited) Thanks, both of you gents. I'm disabled, and I work from home.The biggest thing to figure out is exactly how you want to work. Do you want to be self-employed? Work for a development firm? By self employed, do you mean selling scripts in a marketplace, or contract work? My preference is to for a dev firm or do contract work, but that's only because I don't know if I'd be successful with my own ideas like abdul is.

My preference is to for a dev firm or do contract work, but that's only because I don't know if I'd be successful with my own ideas like abdul is. Contract work. I'm a freelancer. I find it to be much more rewarding than making small scripts and selling them. You get to work with other developers and use all the tools the big boys use (Symfony, Doctrine, etc.), but at your own pace and on your own terms. The biggest hurdle in your case, IMO, is trying to figure out the income vs. state provided benefits vs. whether or not a dev firm will hire you for all the reasons we're both well aware of balance. The healthcare part of it is tricky, especially if you live in America and need to navigate the ACA/Obamacare minefield.
