I wasn't asking you to admit you can't make a living at it. For all I know, you could do it. But the fact that you don't have that experience under your belt shows that you don't know that pricing your labor is tricky, and if you do the best possible job at it, you'll have some customers who think your rates are too high and some others who think they are too low.
