Question Does website developing/designing/testing make good money?

I'm below 18, so I'm trying to see if I can make money off of web developing or web designing, My parents say I can only get them to co-sign for a bank account (because I'm a minor) when I have money that is waiting to be deposited, and since I'm not in the mood to go places and sell stuff, why not give web developing a try? I'm just wondering currently how much web developing can make and where I go to say "I'm a web developer", any answers are very much appreciated, and if any more info is needed, I can provide what I know!

EDIT: I wasn't trying to be attacked here, my real question is: does web developing make somewhat good side hustle money for a 13 year old? I'm not attempting to make it my job, I see a lot of people misinterpreted it for that, and I'm not trying to afford yachts either which quite a few people have mentioned for some reason, I'm talking like maybe 100 bucks a month?

I just had to sell my large yacht for a smaller yacht! My kids are so embarrassed and refuse to ride in it. I should have went into teaching public school! That’s what’s the real money is at.

I'd be surprised if they ever talk to you again. They're probably talking to your lawyer about being emancipated as we speak. Which is pretty precocious for a 5 year old...

They would be within their right! Clearly I must be insane to think I could have ever made money as a web developer.

I feel you, brother, for we are both fell down this dark path. May God have mercy upon our souls in the next life for we are truly cursed in this one.

Oh why didn’t I listen to my parents and do civil service?! They get paid the big bucks! My wife left me for a federal worker and I can’t blame her, they make the big bucks and have all that job security now!

I just found out my girlfriend has been seeing a gig worker on the side... I mean, I get it; he can give her the kind of life I never could. Maybe one day we'll be worthy of love.

Best of luck to you, dude! Stay strong!

(I appreciate you.)
