I almost like to think of this almost as a parallel to the Stop Paying Rent: Live for Free thread. The only difference is I'm asking for advice

The fastlane isn't guaranteed and it can be a long, enduring process. Everyone on this forum is aware enough to understand this.
So, while in the slowlane, in pursuit of creating massive value, what are some of the ways we can try to better our life? Can the pursuit of happiness be achieved before making it fastlane? I would sure think so, seeing as how money doesn't guarantee happiness whatsoever.
For me, despite how many more or less hours it would require, I would be much happier if I could work for myself, autonomously and on my own schedule. Here's where most would say "Yeah, who doesn't". But I feel like in this day and age its actually in the realm of the possible. If those in the slowlane could make a shift while trying to get to the end goal, I think it could have amazing consequences. I would sure be one of those who would actually make the plunge and go for it.
This brings me to freelance work or various related forms of self-employment that maybe most don't know about or haven't thought of. I take pride in my work, and I know if given the opportunity I could produce at a very high level. But I don't know how to code or program, etc. etc.
If anyone has any knowledge on this,
Will there ever be a demand for US based freelancers?
Do you know of any potential demands in the near future for freelancers?
Is it possible to start and begin learning today? Or is it too late. Are all freelance jobs based on expertise that takes years and years to develop?
Maybe there are some things we already know how to do that people would be willing to pay for?
Is it even possible to try and match what you currently make slaving at an office if you were to try to freelance full time?
Maybe this could create some nice discussion. Thanks for reading.
