I have 0.42 euro on my bank account, and my mum is buying me everything. I'm 23 years old and although I attend unversity, I didn't finish it. I was trying to get a job, but I plan to go to university again and it would be quite complicated to get a job, quit and go to uni again, since uni starts in October. Besides, all job application I fullfiled, I only got handful of calling bakc with negative answer. I have some stocks on stockmarket, but I have been unable to sell them.
I did publish one short story in local magazine.



I simply don't know how to make any money, any suggestions?

Prostitution is quite profitable.

Not pretty enough to dowgrade myself so much.

a close friend of mine as been bouncing around from high paying job to high paying job for a bit more than a decade by fudging the hell out of the credentials on his resume. right now he's working as a technology director at a lawfirm that specializes in ecommerce and ediscovery.

the charming motherfucker has zero university experience and is often able to talk his way through interviews for jobs that hes entirely not qualified to do (never for medical or government positions) and he usually resigns a year or so in (sometimes more, sometimes less) and never goes into specifics of why he quits.

that said, i could see this as being stupid and risky, particularly in the age of information and reputation. it just amazes the hell out of me, the guy literally did nothing but lift weights and smoke weed till he was 24 and then boom time to fake his way to the top.

"One word: Plastics."

Uber driver?

@Beatrice - it's a bit complex thing, I've sent to you PM.

Use YouTube. Work hard. Be good at it. Profit.

i know that's why he bounces around like he does, though he never admits. he screws something up and the spotlights on him, then he bails. hell, even when we're sharing beers together he's incredibly cautious to not indulge me too much in regards to his work life, and we've been pals since '97. says its too risky and the slightest slip of the tongue could compromise his job.

that kind of existence would too stressful for me. this is what i would try.

Twitch?
I have no idea if that is cheap to get into, probably there are some costs...
OBS Studio seems to be popular among streamers, so that might cost something, not sure.
I guess you could make some money, and if it's fun, and you have some interesting things to say and a few jokes...
I mean I've found a couple of right wonderful people, pretty much all through GOG Twitch team... I've paid some subscription money... That's one way to earn at least a bit. By playing games ;)
And I don't think it is necessary to have a webcam on, at least for me it doesn't matter.

Wow, he reminds of Leonardo DiCaprio from "Catch me if you can". To be able to weave seamlessly through existence and net all the cash like that. While the paper route is infinitely secure, street smarts have always been the determiner in make or break success.

yeah, i wish i had the gift of gab like that. he'd be a great salesman, it'd be lower risk that bouncing around like he does.

i will have to check that movie out by the way. i have heard of it but never really looked into it.

Flipping burgers and washing dishes are always the best place to start.

I think you need to decide on the University issue... it's expensive and will it really give you a job later on? Or will work experience be of greater value? If you really think it's worthwhile and will pay off, then maybe you need to either stay with your folks or settle for menial jobs that will let you squeak by until you can get those jobs.
