Ive learned a decent bit of python from a trade school I was in and I am really interested in learning more and eventually do freelance work

And I'm looking for advice on ensuring I know enough to do that as well as some advice getting started

About learning more Python? Code up something interesting, or join an existing project and contribute.

About starting freelancing without a track record? Right now it's difficult, though maybe that's cyclical. But basically look on Craigslist and so on for help wanted. Stay away from bottom feeders like Fiverr. There is a monthly "who is hiring" post on Hacker News and a similar post for freelancers (mostly work seekers) but the entry barrier there can be sort of high.
