How to make money while learning Front End

Hello again. I have another question. How do I make money while learning the front end skills. I have a good knowledge in css and html. However, I am working on javascript and other skills too. How much experience do I need to get a Junior End position. My photoshop skill is not the best since most job required you to know photoshop. I am worried about it. But for now, I am staying with css ,html, and javaScript. Thank your for time and tips.

Uh you think you know css and html. Once you take the course here with Nick it's a lot more. I finished the front end course. I highly recommend you learn photoshop over lynda . com. But then again I've been doing photoshop since I was 10.

Javascript takes 5 - 10 years to master. It has lots of libraries. Well, remember you have be friendly and well polished. I mean your work has be to be professional looking and detailed. So make a exceptionally beautiful portfolio. Try freelance. Even volunteer if you have to, see if you can do it. Basically, get your hands dirty. Good luck.

Read a lot of books too.

Learn bootstrap and foundation. I know bootstrap. It's awesome.
