Hey,

I am 13, and have been programming for 5 years. I know how to create any webdesign I like, and do what ever I like with codes. And yes, I do it without looking for help. Simply in notepad, and the graphics I do in Photoshop Elements, Photoshop CS3 and I usually finish off with one other Adobe program.

My parents are encouraging me to begin doing what I really love, programming as a job. I found out that I could do it at this age too, since I have so much experience and I can create whatever I want without using free templates and things, it’s all in my head.

How much could I get payed for this? On about an average? I wouldn’t start doing it for 100 bucks a month and 15 bucks and hour, compared to how much work, effort and time I would put into it.

And yes, I’m familiar with codes, very familiar. I started programming with HTML, and I am now upto learning the basics of “Visual Basic”, with my father who does it as a job (Visual Basic stuff).
How much could I get payed?
No no no. I’m not even considering to quit school. Just the fact that I could do it and go to school.

Aah. Dreamweaver. The endless topic that everyone tries to rely on. No no no. I have tried Dreamweaver, but I just find it confusing. It just throws garbage into my code, like frontpage. And I don’t find it useful since I already know how to create everything I want without it. I don’t like Dreamweaver, since I learned coding in notepad, and it is how I have done it for 5 years. I feel like it is a waste of time.

I usually just code, do the graphics, look at it, and test it on different browsers. That’s it. I find programming easy like … its hard to explain.
