Im looking to become a freelance web dev , and I believe now im proficient enough in html/css and ready to move on to the next phase , im conflicted whether to start learning email development so i can atleast guarantee a career in this field while studying JS , coz i heard you just need to know html/css to become a email developer , or do you recommend that i go ahead with JS i forget about email development? ---

Don’t do email development. When you have learned programming then you can start own project. Freelance is just for some quick money. ---

This is basically a solved problem. There aren’t loads of email developer jobs. Generally the person needing an email just goes on (_eg_) MailChimp (or whatever their provider is) picks a template that looks nice, maybe adjusts the colours and adds some pictures and a logo. It doesn’t need a developer most of the time, it just needs someone to click through a GUI for five minutes. If it needs something more structured, a developer can do it, but it’s not exactly a complex task. It’s incredibly unlikely that you’ll get a job as an “email developer”. ---
