Front-end, is it worth?

[alekssiht]

So I am faced with a decision here, because it is gonna take some time to learn. Thinking about learning front-end to do some freelance in the future. Seems like a promising idea and in todays world, sounds like a thing "good to know" for side hustle.
Any suggestions/toughts?

Learning something can be a stepping stone--especially if you can monetize that knowledge via freelancing/contracting. Then, you can more easily outsource/subcontract those tasks, since you'll be knowledgeable about how to identify people who can do it, then assign tasks & manage people doing them.

Maybe frontend as Web design. You can check @Fox threads and his Facebook group and YouTube.

Ya, front end can be great, easier to sell also and you get a higher % since you are closer to the customer/sale.

Backend skills are great also but it tends to me you are working for someone else (expectations if you do both or build your own thing).
