Hi. You're awesome! :)
I started up the same way.
In my 2nd year, I was selling website templates and earning good money. It required little knowledge of html, css, and js.
It was good. But soon saturated my hunger.
I read up on solving problems, from a development perspective.
It's a lazy man's job but a brainstorming one.
Solving problems gave me direction.
I proceeded to learn different languages for different tasks that were required. I read about implementing backend in django, ruby on rails, node.js and php.
In late 2nd year, I decided to work in a team, and solve problems as a team. I took the job on CTO, for various startups in college. Each startup would present a different problem.
Instead of learning it all. My direction became problem centric. Sure, most of my startups failed, I was working with resourceless people in college. And had to always be the one to start everything from ground-up.
Investing my time in too many startups, too many problems, too many languages ... hung me up on my degree. :P
Sure, you'll meet people who have a mindset that they'll get you to make the product and then ditch you. But I never cared about it. :P
Don't feel bad.The world will always be like that. I got what i signed up for. :)
I am now a full stack developer by choice, I design my products, create apps and I have functional knowledge of most of the awesome frameworks.
My journey made me work with deployment, asset management, managing servers, deploying hybrid apps, scrape data, building performant and consistent api’s.
It was a hard time. I will get my degree this autumn.
Look at the bright side.
People always get happy when you can turn their idea into product in <15 days. :)
Just solve problems… and you’ll emerge as a magician. :D
All the best !
