I studied music in college, but my instrument is an orchestral one of limited appeal. I did teach middle school and high school students during college - I wonder if that's not something to revisit. Thanks for the encouragement and comment.

I'd agree with you, but that's not universally true of graduate school.

In fact, I'm going to school to learn a trade -- counseling psychology. It's a prerequisite to being licensed.

The question now is how do I earn while in progress toward that goal.

I've taken the Meyers-Briggs and other personality assessments. I am INTP as well. I'm also into systems, struggle with decisiveness, and dislike too much consistency in my activities and schedule.

I've settled on psychology as the career of choice, and that's why I have to go back to school. Thanks for the thoughtful response.

I've been doing this, and it's gotten me a handful of gigs, some one-offs, and some odd jobs. At the moment, that's my best angle on finding work, and I'm going to keep at it unless I find something steady and high-paying.

If you'll excuse the question, is coding really a good idea for part-time money? It was a given that someone on HN would suggest learning to code.

Are websites and mobile apps high-probability enough to pursue with limited time?

That's exactly what happened. Also, it's not so much that she requires supporting, more that it's something I want to do as thanks for allowing me the freedom to explore and then pursue a more rewarding career path.

I agree. Any specific hard-skills that you would recommend as a good path to consulting dollars?

Right. Thanks to flash compatibility on my phone, I can watch/listen to a lot of content that cannot be rendered on an iDevice. That's a meaningful differentiator.
