Few things OP and fellow /diy/kes. I work 3 days a week, on the 4 days im off i do a range of shit that generates some income. I do these whenever I feel like it, so its not like a second job, more like hobbies and craft that I enjoy but also get me some cash, which is pretty cool.

Buy broken or damaged goods of ebay or local antiques store (Antiques store is best because you can hangle the price). Just buying guitars and other woodwork mostly and restore them, then resell for profit.

I do a little bit of 3D modeling on Maya/Blender and a few buisnesses periodically pay for some models. I also make a few TF2 items which generate some income.

And sometimes ill fix computers for a bit of cash.

you can get certified if you want to, that will get you more jobs, some require it... i am not. I am not planing on doing this forever and the price can be very steep.
You don't need to use any fancy programs either. cut-n-past it in Google translate 5-6 sentences at a time and go over it, that will save you a BUCH of time.
I have Trados through torrent, aka free, it is a NICE program and it will help you a lot later on (the more you translate, the more the program 'learns' and the less you actually need to do) but the learning curve is steep.
Some jobs require you to use it so you might as well invest in few hours on youtube learning everything that you need to know.

Mostly you get payed by the word. so the faster you can translate the more money you can make.
150words per hour (this is BAD) = 15$/h (at 0.10$ per word)
400wph = 40$/hour this is better
I know some that can go up to 900wph and more.... so they can make a nice living of it.

BUT!!!! about 75% of your time you will not translate, but looks for jobs. during this time you will not get payed. 40$ an hour sounds nice, but you might have to spend 3 days finding a job that will get you 2000 words.
also, you sometimes get payed 2 months down the line as the client has to verify the translation, the boss has to see it, the boss's boss...... you get the idea. this SUCKS but sometimes you have to deal with is.

Education and making good grades.

I majored in Finance thinking I'd just end up at a normal bank. Recruiters from banking and consulting firms came my Freshman year and never heard of these professions. After some research, I figured this would be the better path. Stopped partying and worked my ass off to keep a 4.0GPA (graduated with 3.8) and got into extra curriculums my Sophmore year. My Junior year, I scored an internship for JP Morgan (investment banking analyst) in DC. The hours were terrible but it wasn't that bad. It lasted for 2 months and I got paid about $1,250 a week for an internship. Could only imagine the paychecks the professionals take home. My senior year I decided to try consulting. Studied all semester on my case studies and got an interview with Bain & Co and I got myself another 2 month internship this time in Boston. The pay was about the same though the job itself was much more fun.

I'm now graduated and my first year in consulting. At the Analyst level though I plan to get my MBA in a few years. $60k salary, $10k sign/moving bonus, and an annual 20% performance bonus. $90k salary my first year out of Undergrad. 2 more years and if I do good, they will pay for my tuition when I get my MBA as long as I promise to return.

The job is demanding. But I'm single. So it's not horrible. Traveling is fun. 4 star hotels and room service. Business class airline. All paid for.

TLDR - Get an education. Do good in class and separate yourself from others by participating in extra curriculums. It'll pay off.

I went to UVA. Ranked 5th nationally in their business program. I'm sure that helped. I'm not sure if these firms recruit at every college but it's a great career to pursue if you love money, traveling, and basically running a business without the investment/risk involved.

[Anonymous No.410619]

>>410616

And I don't mean to sound cliche but an education is the biggest investment you should make.

I grew up with nothing. I only had but 2 pair of pants I wore the entire Senior year of High School. Everybody in my family worked in factories and did side /diy/ jobs to make a living. Even my older brother.

It's not hard to go to college. They have grants and financial aide to help you of you were in my situation. You don't need to be a genius. It's all in the book and it's all about memorization.

I feel bad when I see guys at sporting events playing drums with 5 gallon buckets just to make a living. I came from that life. But I didn't have to stay in that situation.

That's not what they said. It was just my experience. I memorize everything so I don't have to work it out in my head. I memorized my multiplication tables in the 2nd grade. It's not even math to me.

Why work out a problem when you can just memorize it in case it comes up again in life?

For one, actually understanding math seriously improves the way you think/solve problems.

I'm a mechanical engineer. Sure, I could have simply memorized certain things during studies but it'd make me a shitty engineer. If you actually understand how and why you do things, you'll be able to transfer this understanding to new problems. And this is where succeeding in your job/life comes in.

Seriously, it's really important to actually understand what you are doing otherwise your college education will be useless.

I'm not saying you don't need to understand anything, I'm just talking about getting good grades. Study until you memorize the problems and do all of your home work. It's all in the book and there's no excuse anybody shouldn't be getting A's and B's unless you have a learning disability.

Of course it all changes in the professional world. But really employers aren't looking for who knows everything. They look at your GPA sure but they can care less about what you learned generally speaking.

People want leadership and motivation. Especially in the industry I work in. They don't want to hear how good you are at math during your interview. They want to hear about your social qualities and good of a quick thinker and leader you are.

People everyday go through college thinking that if they learn everything and keep good grades, they are promised a job when they graduate. That's not always the case. I personally recruit more people who studied abroad, was involved in actives, leader of ___ group, etc. I get emails everyday about people who say they're business geniuses yet they can't even write a properly formed email or keep me interested in their conversation over the phone. That's what people want. Character and a good attitude with a leadership personality.

confirmed for not knowing anything about what doctors do - most of what they do is second-order reasoning (inferring facts from other facts, and the inferences form partial diagnoses, and then using process of elimination and heuristic modeling to determine est guess - it's almost never a slam dunk diagnosis)

Come to geology, and work for the energy companies, kids. They're going through a rough turnover because no one went into the field during the 70's oil shortage and now there's an odd age gap. Can you say "0% unemployment rate"? I received scholarships for just being in geology at my school. I already had two job offers, but turned them down to go to grad school.

While network marketing schemes sound sketchy, most of them are actually legit companies and legit ways to make decent money. Very few are scams/illegal pyramid schemes.

MLM isn't for everyone however. It requires way more work than the company will lead you to believe and you will fizzle out without constantly making sales.

Also, a lot of these MLM companies sell scientifically unproven "miracle" health products and generally inferior goods and services. If the product was any good, it would sell itself and there would be no need to attach additional incentives to motivate sales. MLM is just a way to sell stuff people normally wouldn't buy and tack a huge markup on it.

If there was an MLM company that sold a product that I actually liked, I would jump on it in an instant because there are very few other ways to create such a powerful passive income stream with a very small investment.

Investing in the stock market is pretty pointless unless you can afford hundreds if not thousands of shares. If you have any less than $100,000 to invest, you'd be better off putting them into a CD or in a money market fund.

The return rate in the market isn't that great if you're just investing $1,000 or even $10,000 in some cases. You just don't have enough money to diversity. You could maybe buy a 100 shares in some mid-tier company but don't expect great returns.

I know you said that, but i want to emphasis this once more.
I have college degree in international management a minor in marketing and a minor in communications, have two internships, worked oversees in a sales heavy company (as a glorified receptionist, but what ever) right after graduation for a few weeks adn speack 2 languages.
But my GPA is 2.9, yeah, fuck me, that is bad... my parents are not the youngest, at when they were my age it didn't matter what grades you had. So they gave me shit advice.

Anyway. right now i am thinking of going back to college as an undergrad again just so i can get a decent GPA going where companies will even look at me.
If you are going to college, PLEASE for the love of the gods GET GOOD GRADES. get a degree i something that will make some money, and don't complain when you cannot find a job after majoring in 13th century poetry.

I hate seeing these threads where people just want to do minimal work or shady shit to get by. Get a job in manufacturing, seriously. Not all manufacturing is factory work. Got the local machine shops, weld shops, wood shops, or custom fab places. Show a willingness to work and an ability to do everything from clean toilets to grinding down welds. You will not only make more than minimum wage, but will possibly have benefits and can learn a trade on the job while getting paid. If all else use it as a source for materials for your projects. Ask before taking shit from the shop, most places wont tolerate you taking a single spare bolt if you dont have the decency to ask first. Plus its good to network with others with different skills. Need something welded? Befriend the shop welder. Moving? Make pals with the delivery driver and skip forking over cash for that uhaul.

Buy stocks for long-term. Buy 100 Google shares or something you see that has a lasting future. Oil will be around for a long time. It's a law to have insurance in America so Insurance companies. Healthcare too. Invest at least 100 shares in each of these industries.

Then go with the buy low sell high method for tech companies. Like right now, Apple's stock is shit because there's no new releases. Buy now then sell 2-4 weeks after a product release when the stock is at its peak.

That's what I have done the past few years. I have 100 shares in Google, Exxon, and Humana (healthcare for the elder).

Then I have short-term stocks in Apple & providers for them; Verizon & AT&T. I buy low then sell high. When the stocks get low, I buy again then sell when the next iPhone releases. Repeat.

They're getting bigger and bigger. Microsoft was HUGE in the early 2000s and despite all of the "Microsoft copies Apple" comments by teenagers, they still make huge profit.

Buy low sell high applies to me for consumer based businesses. Retail, cell phone, tech companies, Facebook. These are trends. Sooner or later a new social media source will come along and Facebook will be dead. Retail stores rapidly change in stock; same with cell phone companies.

Long-term investments should be on need based companies. Industrial, oil and gas, energy, insurance, healthcare, etc.

One isn't better than the other, it just depends on your reason. If you want a quick profit, buy when sales are low and sell after a new product release. If you want a long-term investment, invest in a oil company or something and keep your stocks, take your dividend and buy more.

I'm working a full-time job with benefits, but there are a couple of ways to that I personally make loot on the side.
1. Video and photography production/assistance, etc., Easy money, especially if you have the equipment already. Use a public or friend's computer if you need a setup for editing.
2. Teaching guitar and playing gigs. Easy money.
3. Demand Studios pays about $15 to $25 per how-to article. They seem to have a much smaller pool of articles to pull from now, yet there are other similar sites that pay for decent articles on specific topics.

I sell on eBay as a full-time job. I live in a small area and have access to many cheap goods due to local poverty and lack of competition.

Flea markets and auction houses are my bread and butter. Thrift stores used to be great but they've really started to suck in recent years. I generally avoid the storage locker auctions because the TV shows have convinced people that they can make thousands of dollars on absolute shit. Yard sales are my lifeline during the Summer months. Soliciting customers outside of stores that perform trades/buys (ex: GameStop) makes me 100-200 a month in profit.

Too many people these days think that a degree is their ticket. So they invest 4 to 8 years and 5 figure debts into their education, where 2 years and 10k will get an apprentice trade certificate that will pay over 100k in ten years, and 30k to start. I really don't understand why more people don't do this. So many trades these days are screaming for people. For instance, wind generating stations. How many of these blights on the landscape do you see? Thousands. Who builds these, inspects them, services them. They require huge numbers of trades people. Power plants mines....oil and gas...wleder, fabricators boilermakers, instrument techs, civil engineering techs...omg I can't understand why people don't see these opportunities. I grossed $115k last year as a civil engineering tech - overtime, traveling the world, interesting hands-on work...life definitely does not suck

I work as a civil engineering tech who specializes in geotechnical (soils) engineering and materials. I have been in the business for over 30 years with just a high school education. I have supplemented education over the years, and these days, the engineering companies won't look at you with out a tech school certification. It's not rock and roll from the start, but I have loved every minute of it, whether working in a hydro dam diversion tunnel drilling concrete cores at 2am or riding around in helicopters being dropped onto a glacier.

I have seriously done it all and it has been a better life than you could imagine, never the same thing two days in a row, challenging environments.

I work for an engineering company (and quite a number before) who specialize in geotechnical and materials engineering. These companies prepare reports for companies who want to build stuff. Bridges, dams, roads, buildings etc. The companies, governments, private citizens who build these things need to make sure they are built on suitable foundations and that the materials that go into them are suitable. Quality control if you will.
Engineers write the reports based on data that is collected from the field (see above about the concrete cores and glaciers). They do not go out and collect that stuff themselves, they get me to go get them the information. I am the eyes and ears of the engineers. They are way too expensive and consumed to go out of the office, and I am more than happy to do that for them. Very symbiotic.

So, I drill out cores, or collect soil samples, rock samples or poop samples for that matter, take them to my laboratory and test them for all kinds of shit. Moisture content, shear strength, stability, poop content, whatever. We have a huge world of equipment for testing this stuff, in the field or back in the lab.

Its really fascinating and a world not too many people get exposed to, but for a good number of individuals, is always in demand, pays well and is really challenging.

Know a few friends who are going the geologist route to do similar things. One of our professors is awesome. Spent his undergrad cross country skiing for research and then went up to Alaska for the oil companies to map it out on foot.

I've got my eye on the private sector research rather than government work. Physics with a Geology double. Going to be doing some cool things and getting to go awesome places while making a ton of money. Plus I love the subject material so it's not even really studying, more like just figuring out how it all works for myself. Not exactly great with math but I can scoot by with it. I think it's more important to understand the concepts behind it all and the methodology to figure the math out rather than focusing on memorization.

It's a legit way of marketing. It just makes extra cash on the side off of laziness. Basically if you put in the effort and are able to devote your time to it you'll do ok. Maybe even make a lot of money. But in the effort you'll drive away a lot of your friends and become a shallow salesman who's taking advantage of the fact that not everyone can succeed with it and making money off of membership fees and having to put money towards it. (these types of things almost always use a form of the words "It takes money to make money." to justify this.

I repair broken screens and other modular parts for almost everything. I format/install windows to computers. I jailbreak/flush phones/tablets. I also occasionally do automations for a guy that works in hotels and does magic shows.

Pro tip:
1. Buy legit Windows (preferably the OEM build, not the Retail build)
2. Install Windows and uncheck "Activate Windows when online"
3. Disconnect from the Internet
4. Attempt to activate Windows and select to activate by phone
6. Follow the telephone system's prompts and when asked on how many computers do you have this Windows installed just press 1
7. Do this on infinite computers

Any programmer/developer anons in this thread?

I'm seriously thinking of going freelance web-developer. I'm currently an intern and I believe I got the basics down (mvc, jquery, html/css, php/ruby/python) - enough to make small sites with or without users. Havent done ecommerce, but how hard can it be?
My marketing plan so far is this: market to local businesses (custom wp themes + wp + maybe ecommerce plugin?) as well as local hipsters since they got cash (wp/cakephp/rails/django).
How much should I charge? 300$? 500$? Should I overcharge and then tell them about my discount and great deal? I also thought of making three rates - 1, 2 would be my main targets (say 300$ and 500$) and rate 3 would by the high premium rate (1000$) to get more people to chose plans 1 and 2.

My biggest concern however is the office side of things: taxes and contracts. Does anyone have a resource that I could quickly catch up on this?
I'm trying to minimize risk of this venture and I see taxes and contracts (ie. people not paying me or shit going to court, chosing shady customers) as the biggest risk.
I have a certain amount of money to make in 5 months and I only got one shot at this, hence why I want to minimize the risk.

P.S I also have qualifications for tech support tiers I and II, maybe it would be less risky to get a day job in that?

Just started a wood shop in my garage this November, started making a product WAY cheaper then anything comparable out there, even on the Internet.

You just need to find a niche you can take advantage of to make money. Make sure it's a low start up cost and something that you don't need to rely on anyone person (besides yourself) to make it work. If you have an area of expertise in anything, think of a product or service you could provide within that subject that would solve a problem or provide a cheaper alternative.

I went the "provide a cheaper alternative" route and I have to say if you go that route, prepare to work your ass off if your product takes off.

I'm a software engineer, but I don't really deal in web stuff outside of occasional personal projects. E-commerce, I would assume, is where the money is at for freelance website development, but I've never done it, and I know that it could become an issue if security is improperly implemented. Also, I'm sure it will involve both front-end and back-end work, so becoming at least an experienced novice at database usage and administration will likely be necessary.

When it comes to pricing, I have no idea. That might be something you'll need to research. I would think that ostentatious stuff like Flash and its analogous mimic in HTML5 would add to the price, even if it doesn't add to the difficulty of the work.

I have more that I could say, but I really need to start up the work on one of my projects this evening, so I'll return and if this thread still exists and more info is necessary, I'll provide it.

Fill a bunch of 2 liters up. Sell that shit to your friends. If you sell each 2 liter at 5 bucks a bottle you'll double your money. If they don't sell, you'll save a bunch of money by not needing to buy alcohol. Takes very little time and effort.

"The production of distilled beverages is regulated and taxed.[18] The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives and the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (formerly a single organization called the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms) enforce federal laws and regulations related to alcohol. All packaging of alcoholic products must contain a health warning from the Surgeon General.
In most of the American states, individuals may produce wine and beer for personal consumption (but not for sale) in amounts [usually] of up to 100 gallons per adult per year, but no more than 200 gallons per household per year.
The illegal (i.e., unlicensed) production of liquor in the United States is commonly referred to as “moonshining.” Illegally produced liquor (popularly called “white lightning”) is not aged and contains a high percentage of alcohol."

Takes very little time and effort to get your ass thrown in jail.. depending on how strong your alcohol is could be prison.

Uhh... this was ages ago but I'll still answer.

I do both types. I write both for collection sites and on my own. Blogging is a low return on investment timewise. People don't click ads much unless they're stupid. I don't know why. So if your blog caters to a stupid audience you'll get more clicks and it might be a good prospect.

I use Hubpages and think it's actually a better deal than writing on your own. You get paid per visitor not per ad click, which ends up being more than I would get on adsense by itself. They have deals with advertisers which is how they afford this.

I dunno how much an article earns me per month, it's really variable. I guess like... 50 cents? You can find me there at tealparadise.hubpages.com/_content6 if you're interested to see what I write on. It's no big secret.

I also sell content on a per-article basis to textbroker.com for about $6 an article (500 words)

I think his advice is actually supposed to be helpful. He didn't JUST say "get a job" he gave specifics regarding the Manufacturing industry.

I see too many dudes working for $10 at starbucks or mcdonalds, or waiting tables at a shit restaurant, they're always complaining about having no money, yet there are nearly limitless manufacturing/warehousing/factory jobs out there that typically start at 1.5x+ minimum wage. For example where I live in Canada minimum wage is $10.25, but most factory jobs start at around $15-17 with opportunities to make upwards of ~$20-23/hour if you stay there for a couple years, and sometimes additional free training if you're ambitious.

I know telling someone to "get a job" isn't helpful, but someone telling them the type of industry to look into where they can acquire a higher paying, low skill job with plenty of availability should be thanked and not berated.

Well I own a couple blogs & full time job..
>>inb4 blogs dont maek cash

well, they do.. if you do it correctly.. If you've ever searched the internet on how to make money blogging everyone will say the same shit.. hur dur niche content.. YEP, thats exactly what you want. Here's what I do:

1.) Use Google Adwords & Market Samurai to find niche keywords in the "medium category" The point of this is to find keywords that people search often but there isn't a solid website for... You're NOT looking for.. "Music" "Dub Step" "Luxury cars" "Marijuana" Stay away from general words, these are usually very optimized by companies that pay millions of dollars to be on the first pages of search engines. What you're looking for is a specific niche, for example "Northeast Dubstep" "Jersey Shore music" "antique science equipment" "electronic music with vocals" These are just examples, it's important to research this really well.

2.) Man the FUCK up and buy a domain name. Why? Because using a free website/blog looks like shit, people won't take you're information seriously. .com's are like $5.00-$10.00 and who knows, maybe someday you'll sell the website! The keyword's/phrase you found in step 1 should be part of you're domain name...

3.) Choosing a Blogging platform, Personally I use wordpress since it's got pretty straight forward plugins which allow for great SEO and website mapping.. So easy even a basement dwelling ponyfag can do it!

4.) Theme & Design, well this depends on you're blog.. If you suck at graphics, Fiverrr is a great place to find cheap graphic artists for banners/logos/ backgrounds, five bucks, can't go wrong.. If not, then look for a Xara 3D bannermaker online.. It'll make some nicely made banners. You'll want a logo too, this is how people will know you're a fucking cool website and not some cock blowing free blogger, bwahaha.. Be creative, don't fill you're website with shit.

5.) Content! Gotta go to work brb. i'll finish later if anyone gives a fuck

This type of stuff used to consume my life. Online schemes and ways of finding the quick payout. Failed out of college because of these pursuits, in fact. Had great success in blogging... at one point was pulling in 2k/month. But of course nothing like that lasts..

Fast forward almost 10 years to today. I am senior management in a software development department for a big name tech company. Still no college degree. Make 180k/yr.

What changed? Two things: 1) I replaced my alcohol addition with 90mg of ritalin per day and 2) Even when I was getting paid shit, I gave my job everything I had. I also prioritized my social interactions with co-workers, bosses, and friends, which paid off in job offers and useful contacts down the road 3) realized that what I was good at wasn't really what I WANTED to be good at.

Nothing can really replace focus and hustling, can it? Kudos to you anon.

>how do I find out what I am good at?

Do something you think you'd be good at. If you're not good at it, Try something else and see if you're good at that. Repeat.

Holy shit bro.. I think being a mature responsible adult is against the global rules on 4chan.

This guy is absolutely correct though. Especially about #2. I started in a general warehouse job doing grunt work and now I'm an Industrial Engineer at the same job.

Just do your best at everything you do and stick to what you're good at. Don't ever settle for things and keep your eyes and ears open for opportunity. Keep bettering yourself also and don't let anyone tell you that you CAN'T do something.

Jesus fuck, fuck the anti spam system, I had to mangle my post a bit.

Notice how the anon you quoted tried different shit before he hit the jackpot. You can't do this on paper, you can't blow smoke rings on sundays. You gotta get up and do and try and try again until you get it. It sounds like a fuckload of hard work - getting a blog to make 2k per month, fuck man, that takes dedication. And when it failed, it looks like he tried something else. I think that's the way to do it.

In my own experience I think it true. I bummed around and worked shitty retail jobs and did jackshit in community college until I got the right mix of tools (a scripting language), ideas (projects) and a bit of necessity. Six months later I'm an intern for a startup where everyone has 60-100$k degrees and Im still doing shit in community college.
And last thursday a coworker said he and others are impress with my performance. I may not be taking ritalin like the other anon, but fuck me if I ain't got my brain in 5th gear to carve out something from life.
Good luck

I am self-employed.

>Go to auctions every week (normal auctions, storage auctions, government auctions, etc)
>Go to flea markets/yard sales every week
>Sell proceeds on eBay, Craigslist, Gunbroker

Though I'm not doing a lot of work right now because I made a killing on the gun panic buys. Bought me a vehicle and have enough money to pay my bills for a damn year right now. Still going out during the week but only because I'm bored, not because I have to.

I specialize in ammunition, vintage electronics, and video game shit. People love that shit.

I also go to the flea market to sell once a month and I offer "free electronics recycling" at my booth. I also offer computer repairs.

Then, of course, I recycle metals and shit and haul them to scrap yard.

Not that dude, but in America, whenever your politicians derp up and shit happens concerning your freedoms, you can sell firearms and ammunition for a pretty huge price.

I'd also suggest reloading your own ammunition if you shoot a lot.

I usually sit around $12 a change.
Costco (Chevron) oil cost me $25 for 12 quarts and the oil filter I buy costs ~$6
That is roughly $16 a change every 3000-4500 miles, depending on how dirty the oil is.

[Anonymous No.420111]

>>420110
Fail, 12 and 16 are different numbers.
It is $16 a change, ignore the 12.

I have a shit ton of Magic:The Gathering cards to sell from 1992 on. What's the best way to do it?

[Marcus !!hesk+iauNaf No.421167]

OK, so im moving out of home in July and going away for college. As of right now I go to school and work an internship that deals with my major. the thing is, I dont have a job, and its gonna be ridiculous finding time for one considering my college schedule right now is everywhere and work hours are taking up the rest of my free time.

with that said, is there anything in here that can help me out? Im not looking to make thousands of dollars, I honestly just want to see if its possible to get at least a months worth of rent by the time i get out of here so that I can have some time to settle in and find a real part time job as i go to school.

Do any of these survey sites actually work? i have a lot of down time at work and i could do quite a few here and there just to make a couple dollars as everything would be incredibly helpful.

anyone have any ideas?

There aren't as many manufacturing jobs in the US, and the pay isn't dramatically better.

1.5x minimum wage is like $10.75 in the US anyway.

You're joking about military and paramilitary work, but I've heard nothing but good things about being a merchant marine.

It's something I'm looking into now, and although I obviously can't recommend it whole-heartedly since I haven't done it yet, I think that many people on this board should at least look into it.

You should be making 3k/wk. if the place was actually a 5-star resort.

5-star isn't such a huge deal that even the maids earn 10k/month. 3k/m for bartending is not bad at all.

I would love nothing more than to do this, but there's a big problem. Not sure about where you are, but here, there are fuck-all jobs going in that area.
In fact, even if there are jobs going, you need a minimum of 2 years training and getting all the qualifications before you can even attempt to find a job.
Trust me, I've tried. Best I could get was 12 weeks work experience in a welding and fabrication firm, and even that was only through the owner's benevolence.

you'll need to do a lot of research if you have no idea which cards are staples/valuable.

Go by ebay prices to find out what things actually SELL FOR and not what some card site says they're worth. At the end of the day it all comes down to what people will actually pay for your shit.

Ebay is also the best market to sell to unless you can get personal contacts with collectors, but don't sell to card shops or bulk buyers because they'll lowball you with the intent to resell.

When you sell on ebay just make sure to get payment first to your paypal and consider tracking/insurance if you're selling an expensive batch of cards.

Go on youtube and look up Elithecomputerguy channel. He's got a lot to say about how to run a web design business.

As a freelance web developer, the work is easy. What sucks is dealing with clients. Some forget to pay, some drag you into their shit, some have no intention of paying, and some are just shit people. It's also really competitive.

eCommerce is not difficult at all. For the most part, I would suggest avoiding this type of maintenance work unless you're a top-shelf programmer. I had the unfortunate opportunity to work for a client who had not updated his codebase since 2003! PHP4 to 5/MySQL upgrades upgrades, shit that didn't work, modules out of date or incompatible, ugh... Oh yeah, I was just starting out and only getting paid $15/hr. Fuck that shit.

Right now a student, but most likely freelance architectural visualization and visual effect work.

My goal right now is to work a year or two at Rockwool, save up as much money as possible and hopefully get enough for a piece of land somewhere to build a tiny 40m2 house.

Depends where I end up, but hopefully my dad would be able to help out on the actual construction of the house since its what he's done for a living the last 30 something years.

So if everything goes to plan it should be very inexpensive and wouldn't really require me to work much to live comfortably.
