Bsc Computer Science

[sira88]

Hi all,I need advice, I have been working in retail for 8 years as a consultant, not formal education just Matric and N3 Mechanical Eng..I was recrenched a year ago,then I taught myself wordpress website design & Hosting for quick income.

Things have not been going smoothly as I thought, so now I have registered for a Bsc Computing with UNISA starting 2018,what short courses that I can do to get a job as a Website designer or programmera while im pursuing my Degree.i have a company that deals with webdev and hosting but getting clients is a hustle. What can I do to generate income?

Thank you for your quick response

Have you tried finding clients through the various online freelancing portals?

No,thats new to me, my business model is word of mouth, and I spend most of my time trying to make current clients happy at all cost,as a result I loose focus...one other thing, I get discouraged easy since im the only 1 in the business

Thanks for replying promptly.can you register with Unisa now for 2018.I thought registration only opens in August. And don't you need I.T in matric to study bsc informatics ? With regards to your websites, do you host on aws? Also try upwork for freelance jobs.
