That depends on your current hourly rate. What is it?

That's a good question to ask upfront, I agree, but only if you're looking for financial gains.

Just wanted to add that a lot more things come into play when there is a discussion of drop college x steady job x freelance.

Yeah i agree, that's why i'm so torn and can't make up my mind

I usually get paid per project. A landing page for 2500$ a normal static website 3000$ for 5 pages and 200$ more for each page. But if i'm working on a Frontend/Backend gig i charge 150$ per hour

Great. Looking from a financial perspective, I'd stick w/ freelance given this rate if I were you.

Where have you gotten work from while still in school? Do you do all your work remote? Do you have a portfolio available to show publicly here so I can see what kind of skill level I need to get work that pays that well?

Im graduating a (Canadian) College web dev course at the end of next semester and the only work I have managed to get was some WordPress stuff that ended up being less than 15$ an hour. I am actively looking to find front/backend work that pays halfway decent right now.
