3. My hobbies I do digital drawing, 3d modelling, I do online volunteering by helping to rise funds for helpless ;)
4. Learn how to build websites... there are a lot of skills involved, but are all relatively easy to learn... You will find lots of people comming out of the woodwork wanting you to build a website for them... Aspects needed... The Server to Host Websites (IIS - Windows / apache - linux) Languages to write the websites in (ASP / ASP.net / PHP for Windows, PHP for Linux) Database for storing data (MYSQL is powerful free solution... Oracle and SQLServer cna be more commercial solutions) Domain Registration (I use www.namecheap.com) ... that's most of the back end stuff needed.. then the front end stuff is the design aspects... Flash is a good one to learn.. I personally do all of my graphic design in photoshop...but that's not my strong point...
