what sort of experience did you have before you started contracting? I'm surprised you were able to get a 250/day job as a 19 year old.

I had a few freelance gigs and a small stint as a permie at an agency back home but nothing near the kind of portfolio i have now. Luckily i was interviewed by people that appreciated the fact that i taught myself and i could demonstrate that knowledge.
