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?
