Than freelancing?

The only working way into freelance for spherical student in the vacuum majoring in Computer Science, pycho-bad code or html layout.

first learn to do what is very interesting, and then offer it to others :)

I understand that many believe that freelancing should only go after work in the office

You don't need to rely on the opinion of "many", and think for myself.
Can give an example myself — I have been doing freelancing for 3 years (i.e. 16 years), but in the "offices" almost never worked. Sort of died, provide himself :)

If the study is tied to CS, then study you to start is, perhaps, the layout is very simple, you can start working quickly. Moreover, the layout of the daily heap of orders. But in General — learn what the soul is. Head for PHP? Study it. For you PHP is garbage and Python is a great language? Learn Python. Anyway, without work you will not stay. Only course is to teach are in demand in the technology market. Turbo Pascal'eat you won't earn anything.:)

Good luck, and nice work.

First of all, IMHO, you need to learn English to the level of seamless communication with potential foreign customers by e-mail/IM, to compete with the Indians :)

And about the books is not clear — books directly to jobs (engineering, roughly speaking) or for work in freelance (economic and psychological)?

Don't listen to those who say that freelancing is nothing to do without experience. I started from scratch back in high school once. Of course, I wrote PHP/Perl bydlokod. Customers who need just cheap contractor, and that don't need super quality — full. Books on any PHP — not "for 24 hours, for dummies, etc.". Koterova read, if you good with English — Zend PHP Certification Guide is also browse — literate washed there sometimes you can read how to do, and how not to. I'm talking about freelance Russian — English don't know what's going on with web development. It seems to me that Hindus do not really compete in terms bidoversity.
Another option — a friend went on a foreign exchange at the 2 courses in C++. Studying — I don't know.
I read a book "PHP for hackers" at the time. This thin little book, which tells about the SQL ingessena, PHP-includingi, etc. Show code examples, you learned how not to do very well with my head right at first. And all sorts of code refactoring, Design Patterns are not those books that must be read to the student without experience in software development IMHO. And especially not those books that will help you to successfully start working on freelancing.

My advice for freelance, especially not count, as no special experience and skills, no one to give a tasty projects will not. The optimal way to "feed yourself" IMHO is to go to configure computers, install Windows and other pleasures of the people. The initial capital and the minimum advertisement in the newspaper Yes, the print on the risograph hundreds of ads for subsequent obkleivanie his district. The second option, if I remember/understand computer science is tutoring students for the exam.
Well, freelancing as something of a break from orders and uni. As said above this is either "design" or layout, or web programming. In particular, web programming suggest to start with php. A good book to start: the kotěra D., Kostarev A. PHP 5 in the original. The rest are online and on php.net.

To earn in freelancing can, in principle, on anything, it is more important to know how to sell yourself and know how to organize their time. For the first recommend www.koob.ru/atkinson_jean/vse_o_prodajah_atkinson and www.koob.ru/goodman/seven_secretssecond — the book of Allen and GTD.
