possible to make money using programming?

I just had an idea, since there are a lot of computer use in the world today - surely I could make money by programming? maybe someone who doesn't have time to work through SICP just needs something coded or what? I don't know.. basically I need to start earning some money and I thought of this - what you do you think prog?

"free education website" wont give you academic credentials, like graduate school gives. "free education website" wont give you a list of your own publication in peer review journals.

Online/self education is totally completely useless, if we talk about getting a science job and making money.
