Get a job.

Don't care if you're not skilled enough o get a good paying job, you need to get any old job til you can get a better one...

Hi everyone, I am revisiting this thread.

So I am currently living in rented accommodation. It's about $100 USD per week and power and Internet are included.

I have approximately $3000 USD in the bank right now. Maybe a bit more stashed away in other accounts. That's enough to pay for 30 weeks rent. Plus some more money for food, etc.

I am thinking of enrolling in a distance learning course in March. The government will give me about $150 per week as a loan for living expenses. Plus I will get about $750 as a one-off payment.

Ideally I would prefer to not rely on the government and make this money myself. (I don't want to be a leech living off the government.) How should I go about doing this?

Easier said than done. As I said before, my programming skills are horrible. I might be able to write a chess program in Java (where all the moves are random and there is no intelligence) and that's MAYBE. I know a bit of chemistry and biology but it's difficult to land a job in those fields without a degree. I doubt anyone will hire me.

Well, ilovelittleboys, my advice to you is to ask yourself what really turns you on? You have to find what is central to your identity, and really fires your passion! If you can turn your hobbies and personal interests into profit then you are truely rich my friend.

Tell a little more about your chemistry background.   Any knowledge in botany?

here is how it works

go to dmv and apply for a truck license . get the license and get certified for haz mat and get certified as a profesional driver.

apply for a job at any truck driving company . such as stevens : stevens will take drivers with ZERO experience. http://www.stevenstransport.com/

end the renting agreement.

live in the truck eat in the truck . no rent no hassle and 2 grand a month in the pocket for starting drivers.

Here you go and you can thank me now for thinking everything for you. this is asuming you are 21 or over.

this is how your life would look like : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nvj2jR9fi2k

PS : Stevens will even help you with the driving school . as long as you are willing to give them a call and ASK .
