Answer 2

Few years back I was a Sales Manager in a company, I realized that my capabilities are in computer whether its hardware assembling or MS Excel. So I started learning from google almost 4 hours a day, as a result I understood HTML in few days and inline stylesheet.
The problematical moment arrived when I took my first project as a freelancer and I didn't knew how much I've to charge, so I charged him $100 for making 6 pages static informational website but, I messed up when client started blackmailing me that you don't have any degree and I'll sue you for that.
After giving him support for 1 whole year including many web pages and maintainence he wrote a work completion mail.
From that moment I always finalize things when customers agrees on my qualification in written.
I am happy because at the beginning I got a very good experience. ☺
