After reading some posts about how entrepreneurs keep getting brought down by the haters in their jobs, I wonder...is it worth it to freelance? I dont even know where to start. Sure, I have heard of oDesk, but is it legitimate? I'd love to hear about your experiences freelancing. How does it work out? I truly believe I have some value to bring to the table and although I've applied for some jobs, I don't like the wait of them getting back to me. I'm a recent graduate.

I want to freelance with C++.
