However, I'd instead check out Cardano's (ADA) Plutus platform [0]. It's a subset of Haskell as I understand it. They have a online playground to simulate contracts [1].
Cardano also has a ERC-20 converter [2], so expect a lot of projects to also move to Cardano (given the much lower fees and higher throughput) when smart contracts are released in August/September.
Smart contract Audits and creation is pretty lucrative, with payment for work generally in a currency that's not in a period of 'Transitory Inflation'. I've been learning rust/ substrate tho, ETH is a bit dated by now.
"Dad, how come we are poor"
"Well you see son, when i was younger I traded all my real money for fake online tokens because i thought it'd make me a millionaire"
In all fairness, if you didn't take some profit over the last 6 months the fault lies within.
You can do any kind of work and once paid convert it to ETH so getting paid in it is no difference (I’d say it is more inconvenient as you need to convert some to fiat and then deal with taxes)
