Going into freelance work straight from uni is an amazingly bad idea.

Most freelance work that's advertised online (especially the lower end of the market) will end up going to India because they undercut everyone, you're not going to be able to compete on price, quality, or timescales.

Considering the quality of some of the code I've had to clean up from Bangalore... you won't beat them when it comes to promising the world, though.

Semi-related (though of course it should be noted that SUBSET-SUM is NP-Complete but also pseudo-P)

Your best bet is entering into the permanent work force and gaining some real world development experience. If you work for a decent company you'll have people making sure you don't pick up bad habits, and you'll be able to extend your skills in a much lower risk environment. Then when you have a couple of years experience you can switch to contracting where the big money is (we're currently paying contractors between £400 and £450 a day, and they're not amazing developers by any stretch of the imagination)

This.

He said he didn't want any nasty after sales surprises.

Are HP still not letting people download firmware for servers unless they have a pricey support contract? Tossers.

No idea... Not my department ;)
