    I am working on my degree currently through ASU - [Bachelor of Applied Science in Internet and Web Development Concentration] and minor in marketing.

    I am looking to see if anyone works in this field and can give me an idea of what type of jobs are out there?

    I have learned a good amount of basic programming, web design, marketing, and other various aspects of the IT field.

    What I do know is I do not want to work at some call center doing help desk.

    What I am looking to do is be able to develop and maintain websites, and market them for better rankings. My long term goal is to work from home.

    Anyone here do this type of work? Freelance or otherwise?

    My career goal is to start off doing freelance work and building a portfolio, and eventually work my way into a firm, or even start my own firm that does web design, marketing/seo, development (programming) and other work. I would love to have the ability to work from home or have my own office someday. I want to get into a career where I can make enough to live comfortably, and eventually afford to buy a home. I am 23 and feel that I am struggling compared to others my age.

    Any advice is greatly appreceiated.

    Firstly you will have to become expert in this field then you can work as freelancer. All the concepts should be clear.
