I tried doing that, but couldn't land a starting gig with reasonable pay. To my impression, the market is flooded with cheap-to-hire people and I couldn't make my quality stand out enough to get interesting clients. If you have any tips I'd be happy to read them either here or at cv AT backslasher.net

EDIT saw your reply. That's a great experience! I tried that but the timing / friends / luck didn't pan out there. I'm happy you got it working though :)
