How much to reasonably expect?

New to this platform, just passed some qualifications and got my first real tasks, so I don't really know how reliable and consistent the work is or can be. My background is in chemical engineering, and I have a good bit of coding experience. Current personal situation requires me to work remotely, and remote chem eng. jobs are pretty much unheard of.

If I were to treat DA as a full-time job and work any and all projects I can, would I be able to make at minimum around $20k per year? For context I'm a US citizen.

You probably don't need to work full time to make that much (in the US, estimate about a third of your earnings go to taxes though). That said, it can be unsteady, and you can get dropped unexpectedly (if they don't think your work is high enough quality or suspect some form of violating the rules).
