Beginner friendly: Challenging

To start making money as a Quality Assurance Automation Engineer, individuals typically need a strong understanding of software testing, programming languages, and testing tools. Beginners without any background in these areas may find it very difficult to get started and earn a profit. Online resources like Reddit, forums, and YouTube tutorials can provide some guidance, but the learning curve can be steep. I'd rate it a 1 because without prior knowledge or experience in software testing and automation, most people will struggle to succeed.
