As long as it takes for you to feel comfortable accepting money for your services and for you to convince someone to give you a chance. Everyone is different and learn at different paces. You could start off by asking local businesses if they need a web site and charge low prices just so you could have something to show for yourself. It took me a while to get my first job due to social anxiety and a lack of confidence in myself but if you're good at talking to people you'll get a job faster than someone like me lol.
