This was me - made websites for my band, friends bands, made ticketing website for promoter friend, made websites for custom gear companies, ended up in a events startup then to the moon. Yes CS degree happened in the middle of all that too.

To think that (relatively?) small things like that could jumpstart a career... I'll be honest, I'm still young and I wonder what kind of journey is ahead of me

My only advice is, just play around, and try different things. Freelance for a while and charge terribly low amounts of money. Partner up with different types of people on ventures - yea this requires trust and you will get grifted from time to time.

But through it all, you're learning and building skills. Hell you're having fun.

Maximize for "f**ing around and finding out"
