I did OK with my side stuffs and then I got laid off. Now I got a website to make that could well pay the mortgage for a couple months! I'm self taught so can't get webwork for the big boys. The only people who'll hire self taught folk are churches and porn sites. But what a resume! Shows I can work with nearly anyone (except that corporate stuffed shirt that took over the lab I ran!) (or maybe it was he who could not work with me?)
Those side skills are necessary for when you need something to fall back on because you got laid off and the industry is so dead you can barely even get an interview in your field! I'm using food banks to eat and unemployment took so long to kick in that those side skills were life savers!
