@@adabookI just want to get one thing straight. If I were to get a WCAG certificate and work as an accessibility tester focused on front end, along with my experience at my other job, I could receive a livable wage?

@@ericsilberstein667 The best way to find out is to start applying for accessibility positions that seem like a good fit and going through interviews. They're probably not going to ask for a WCAG certificate - it would more likely be a Trusted Tester, CPACC, or WAS certification they're looking for, if they are looking for certification. And it's not only raw qualifications, the interview itself will weigh in the decision. There are no certainties, you just have to go through the process. Even just going through the process, you'll gain valuable experience that will help you going forward.
