I have dabled between learning JavaScript and python, with sole aim of becoming a hacker, and an end goal of making money with it. But from lots of opinions I have read, these professions yield better results if they were passion and curiosity driven, unlike mine that is money driven.

I wasted over a year jumping from one hacking tutorial to another, with nothing tangible to show for it. At any slight challenge I dumb that course, go to another course, and the never ending loop never breaks.

I asked myself if the utmost goal is earning money online , why not go straight into sales & internet marketing then?
Being a newbie with little or no money, I concluded on starting with learning and working as a VA and build up from there. A $200 monthly pay as a VA will be considered good by me. So I want to ask would this be a worthwhile adventure? Thank you all.
 
I read somewhere that being a VA isn’t enough anymore, that successful people are already niche-ing down. I think the most important thing is to stay on one course and put in the work consistently. Best of luck!
 
Yes, it will be a worthwhile journey, but only if you make it so.

Just don't assume that this journey will be easier than your previous one. My advice is to finish with what you've already started because giving up can hurt your morale...

After all, who’s to say you won’t abandon your VA journey as well when you start encountering challenges with that too?

Start your VA hustle and keep it as a side option but return to what you were previously learning and complete that.

PS: Any skill is of no use without learning how to market what you offer. This should be your priority.
 
Yes. Becoming a VA is a smart first step. You can earn around $200 a month doing simple tasks like email, scheduling, or data entry on Upwork. You’ll learn real skills, build confidence, and then raise your rates.
 
As a VA you can easily find work that pays you 200-300$. Use that experience and time to learn skills and advance your career else you will keep working at the wage for many years because hardly anyone will pay 500$+ to VAs.
 
Just make sure you don’t quit before giving yourself enough time to understand all the aspects
