Hi, I need practical ideas: my family is in a bad financial situation and I want to help while I study.I went to a technical high school in electronics, but I had almost no hands-on practice — I’m willing to learn soldering, electronics repair, PC assembly, 3D printing, or any manual skill that can generate income.What projects or skills would you recommend I learn first to sell services or products quickly? Thanks — I can dedicate time to learning the basics now.
>>2976148Go get a job at a phone repair store
>>2976149thank you
idk anon but good on you for wanting to help out, very family pilled and based
>>2976148>soldering, electronics repair, PC assembly, 3D printing, or any manual skill that can generate income.Non of these generate very much money at all, learn tractor repair
>>2976148>What projects or skills would you recommend I learn firsthow to destroy AI.
>>2976148Sex work, narcotics trade, money laundering, manual menial labor is typically what unskilled people resort to in times of financial instability
>>2976148> soldering Won’t land you a job unless you’re a Chinese factory worker > pc assembly Building gaming pcs is a fun experience that hobbyist do… nobody is going to pay some guy to do the fun part for him after buying all those components unless you’re offering a stellar warranty or a skill like server lever cable weaving >3D printing Again another fun toy , hobby printing your creations is the fun part. Part of my job requires 3d printing but 3d printing is usually stuff leading to generating a display that leads to sales At the end of the day, every job on earth eventually leads to a sale, I might 3d print a part for a cnc machine, that eventually gets repaired and SOLD at the end of the day So every job is sales Think about that
>>2976148Don't think about skills first.Think about what industry you would like to work for.Then acquire skills to serve this industry.
>>2976148How many warm holes do you have that you're willing to sell?
>>2976234just my mouth and my ass, the rest are off limits
>>2976151In the same vein, the kiosks that change watch batteries at the mall are always hiring. I’m sure they don’t pay well, but it’s a job. It is *tough* getting a gig as an electronics technician without experience but it’s also really hard to find anyone any good. Soldering is table stakes and half the applicants struggle with that. And you’re competing against people with BSETs if not BSEEs anymore. So apply for those jobs but don’t count on anything coming through.
>>2976220selling blood and bone marrow for that virtue signalling
>>2976148Find appliances roadside, check what still works. Sell off the good parts on ebay.The milk shelf broke in my fridge and I am about to look for a replacement that is cheaper than the factory one.Alternatively part out a junk car.This is all shit work but it sounds like you cant take on an actual job. If you can take a part time job, find a factory looking for electronic assembly. Tell them you can solder but you havent in a long time. Tell them you are available on call to fill in. They pay 18/22hr around me all small and non union.
You sound like a semi-lazy nerd, which is not an unworkable situation. Cold call/email your local surveyors, leave a message saying "Hi I'm good with technology and would like to learn about your profession", and half of them will be interested. The job at this point is half IT/troubleshooting and the other half actual manual/mental labor
>>2976148OP i got you. become a cooling technician who fixes fridges. that means undersranding the cooling cycle and learning to weld. not only is it profitable but also easy. diagnosing a fridge, pumping coolant into it, swapping the coil or condenser are all a breeze, a lot of people don't want to pay $500 just because the coolant leaked out. that's when you come in. one toolbag, a torch and a gas cylinder full of fresh coolant. you get to pose as an 'engineer' while coasting the beach of dead refrigators making bank and pumping dirty housewives.
>>2980439Brazing not welding nor soldering and it takes some skill since it has to be airtight.
Trying to get rich from having a skill is a very 20th-century attitude. Try Deliveroo instead.
>>2980466>Trying to get rich from having a skill is a very 20th-century attitude.This. With skills you're at the very bottom of the totem pole and usually too expensive for big customers (enter Rajeesh the brown wunderkind saar of everything promised and nothing delivered) or small customers ("we can't begin afford this so we'll do without"). Middle men (if you have to ask how, you're never going to become one) who pimp you out to big corporate customers with more money (actually debt) than sense will slap a healthy 200%-300% margin on top of whatever measly rate you charge/wage you receive and get rich off your skills without having any themselves.World's fucked.
>>2980681oh woe is me people are rich and Im not
