    I have many skills. I am now work as a programmer in small company in Bangkok.

    My intermediat skills are ... HTML, PHP, CSS, Javascript, MYSQL and somewhat graphic designing.

    I can communicate fair in English doh.

    I need the degree for some reason, but I don't want to work at the same time because I have tried and failed twice already..

    So this time I will need to focus on it.. It's only 2 years study.

    I am now have some income from adsense, sell text links, web hosting (for friends) that's all my extra income (like $300 - $500 a month). I didn't use these money because my salary covered all bills so I just save them.

    I need like $600 a month for living.

    but now I have to quit my job....

    I just wonder and ask for suggestion.. what and how can I earn more?
    I will have a lot of free time when I don't have a class.

    what I have planned is only
    - do more adsense websites.
    - get the freelance job locally.
    - get the freelance job on the internet.

    thank you for your opinion,

    That's everything I would suggest to you.

    I'm still in school and I earn far more than that per month from services, text links, adsense, basically all advertising.

    Just keep developing websites and stay active in the community and you should be fine.

    definitely second the "all advertising" suggestion.

    it's a lot easier to make serious money in advertising venues other than adsense now.

    freelancing is fine if you need cash now, but it's much more rewarding to work on something that will continue to make you money for years to come :)

    I think getting a freelance job online is the best way to go, specially if you have good programming skill, you could earn quite a lot of money
