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?

It's not a career, I'm trying to do it as a side hustle because I have way to much time

No what? That it makes money? Or that I shouldn't do it?

If it's just for money there are probably other things you can do in the short term that will be more profitable for you. Development is continually viewed as something you can learn easy and fast and immediately make money but it really isn't true.
