    Comment on CTO:
    In every city, there are a bunch of entrepreneurs starting businesses. The common thread is almost always: 0 knowledge about technology.
    Many can be salesman and boots-on-the-ground people, without realizing that their operations can be automated.
    So by literally just showing up at your local entrepreneurship development center where they give courses to starting entrepreneurs, you could easily be anyone's CTO by just:
    - showing up;
    - listening to everyone's beginning business;
    - showing them casual interest and asking further questions; and
    - offering to participate setting their tech up.
    Small businesses I met, in which I could/should probably have given a helpful hand:
    - elderly people moving company;
    - a zero-waste grocery store in a new yuppie part of the region;
    - construction guy starting up (was and continue to be booming).

    As a professional tutor (LSAT) I would highly recommend charging AT LEAST $50/hr. If an agency is paying you less than that, DON'T work for them. Some agencies take up to 80% of what clients pay. Finding clients on your own is difficult, but not THAT difficult, and considering you get to keep the entire fee, it's well worth your time to seek out your own clients. Also, remember that people want to pay for quality service. Between a $15/hr tutor and a $75/hr tutor, 9 times out of 10, they'll go with the $75.

    Freelancing is awesome 🎊 but I think a 4/5 rating for ease of starting is way too optimistic. It takes a long time to build a portfolio & find clients, and even on sites like upwork you need to build a reputation & do work almost for free until you gain good ratings. It's "easy" to get started, but definitely not easy to actually make money 😅 Keep in mind you will work very hard with little income at the beginning (unless you already have great skills, projects, or existing connections to leverege)

    Technical writing and building templates sounds interesting; solo work is more appealing to me at this stage since I am still very new to tech. Will be looking into more on those topics this week, thanks for the idea Tina! 🙏
    Since joining your livestreams, I've been much more consistent in my studies and the community is so positive☺
    Thanks for all your hard work Tina!!

    Hey Tina, would you consider making a video on someone wanting to make a career change into software? I'm a chemical engineer, graduated and have been working for 2 years now. I don't particularly like my industry, and want to make the switch. I know there's the self taught, bootcamp, or degree route. I was just curious what your opinion and recommendation would be? Thanks!

I'm in Canada, and most of the chemical engineering roles are either up north In the oil patch, or out east where cost of living is exuberantly high. I want to leave chemical all together eventually. My motivators are: better work environment, better pay, remote work opportunities.

      @@abdullahabid218, yeah, work up north can be harsh I can imagine.
      How about water treatment? Almost every water treatment plant and industrial plant with process waters have numerous field devices, both inside the plants and in their pipe networks. If you want to get a feel for the field, you can visit your nearest big city water treatment plant and ask for a tour, they might give you one. (I live in Quebec, so non-Quebecer plants might be different as we take most of our water from rivers, whereas many other cities outside of Quebec might process water using much smaller distributed systems of wells).
      Rockwell Automation, etc. all have fields dedicated to the automation of chemical processes, no?
      How about Transport? I hear read somewhere that railways are looking for embedded systems engineers.
      Sorry for repeating the whole IoT thing numerous times, haha. I'll shut up now.
