I think you don't understand how quickly the online software industry can move. Granted, if I don't care and just put in 10% effort, then obviously I'm not going to make a whole lot of money. Get ambitious and passionate though, then things can move quickly.
That's another reason Leo's little stunt hurt me so much. I was working so hard this summer, day-in, day-out listening to screen reader yell at me, ears ringing by 5pm every day, and pushing myself as hard as I could. Everything was / is looking so good for me, and lined up to have a good winter. I was doing all that for us, not for me.
Then that one phone call came, and changed everything.
