Ok,

OP here. I'm off to Pakistan tomorrow. I have $1,000 to my name, around 100 books, one single backpack, and that's it. I have an incomplete education. I'm 20. I have no contacts and no friends there. I have no place to stay. I plan to convert my $$ first thing and get the cheapest apartment. I plan to ask my apartment owners and neighbors and random strangers for jobs. And try to make it.

I'm hopeful for the future, lads. Wish me luck. Any advice?

And let me say it like this.

Pakistan is a developing country with mineral wealth, an educated population and relative stability. Plus, Pakistan got a $55 billion investment from China in the energy sector and building a transport route from China=>Pakistan=>Indian Ocean, it also gets a lot of aid from the US because the US has a vested interest in keeping Pakistan stabilized. And so does China now.
