I hope the title is OK, it's all a bit vague as I am not a computer person myself, so I may have some details wrong.
I have a cousin who worked in software engineering, mainly in de-bugging, her last contract ended in 2000. After looking after the family, she is now thinking of getting back into the workforce. She is thinking of doing a few programs for family members (one project is to write a program for a database for stock taking involving a barcode scanner), and some apps for android phones, so she has some current experiance before looking for a 'job'. To be honest, it sounds like a lot of faffing about, which is putting off the evil day when 'work' has to be done. But I don't know enough about the industry to know if this is completely mad, or a reasonable idea. I would not interfere in someone elses life, but I'm just wondering if my impression of this idea as 'daft' is completely off the wall, or what??
Thanks for any help!
