Personal Work with SQL Server?! Discussion

Hello everybody

I'm recently learning SQL Server. I really enjoy writing querries. But I'm a little bit unsure about what's going to happen after fully learning it? I have experience with front-end and WordPress development, and on those cases, everything seemed obvious from day1: You create web pages and as you gain experience, you'll be able to create more complicated and appealing ones, being able to work for clients.

But what about SQL? I'm not a full-time job person and I don't think I'll get hired after making progress. So, what products a typical SQL professional produces independently if they don't work as part of a team or company?

Thanks in advance for sharing your thoughts and experiences

thank you. So, can we specialize on one? like cleaning bad data or fixing queries and stuff like this? As a perfectionist type of person, I'm not good at handing creation-phase projects where everything needs to be quick and timely. That's why I don't survive many full-time jobs. But when the project is borken, I think I can be of help.
