30 years is just beginning, don't even bother about it Focus in your goal - Business Become a freelancer, lot of freelancing websites are there - elance,odesk,freelancer etc., etc., use your skills - php or js or whatever you know, and try to get some work and pay your bills.

if you can't even get one freelancing work, then consider it as you don't have exposure skills

if you can't complete a taken work, then you have to improve your skills

The recent elance, odesk, etc discussion[1] had a very good rundown on the positive, and negative, aspects of the freelancing sites you mentioned, along with some additional niche sites.

I do freelance work currently, it's OK, I earn a decent amount but I don't really enjoy it.

I'd prefer to work with a startup or small company on something exciting. Learn some new skills and possibly be part of something big.

I do agree, but he needs some backup for day to life, so he have to do some kind of part time jobs
