yes...but it depends on your ability meaning if y want to freelance u have to do twice as hard than being employed u have to do a lot of websites , mobile apps, desktop apps other scripts, and u have to publish them on the internet build a good CV at the end of the day to freelance u have to have a lot of experience ena the people that hire u want some proof that u have done previous projects...if u are to be hired for app devep they ask u to show them ur previous works, apps u've published on play store and other things.....the way u can do is just build any simple app or website u can think if it might be silly but do it...and in time it will be a lot and u will do harder projects just for ur self....malete beka sew project seralegn eskilek atetebek erasek sera ena azegaj keza u will be the top choice for the job...be freelance u can make a living but it might be harder to start because of the things i told u gn as u go along bezu sera eyeserak setemeta gn people will look for u..it has a decent pay...u will be ur own boss..u will do at ur own time ena demo forever freelance ataseb think for the long run opening a little company mnamn selezi don't worry.......gn that is why last time i told u to do good on ur marks because if the freelance doesn't workout u could always get a job at a good company...so berta software engineering is all about repetition and experience.....ena sorry my comments are long gn.....create a connection demo meet people with the same ambition as u on Software engineering do some projects with them ena 11th is a good grade to to some interships. one place u can intern is. ( IE engineering) it is around bambis if u are in addis they get alot of applicants for summer ena u have to know some about programming it might be tough to get it gn try, try "icog labs" around bole for interships....... another hint i can give u is therr is a scholarship opportunity from USA embassy here in addis every year they take students from 11th and 12th grade only it doesn't require much but u have to do good on the interview they post the registration dates once or twice a year on their Facebook page "US embassy addis ababa" look at their page from time to time ena don't miss it..... i know it is long gn i wanted to help u..the developers community is a very supportive community seriously berta
