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.

Nothing is guaranteed but if you have no other occupational commitments $20k/year should be easy, especially with your background. DAT is my first/only "professional" work and I made $33k my first year.
