conversation: User (futurechiefexecutive): "Thanks for reading this, I really need some advice. I come from a middle class family. My dad is a power engineer. The power industry in my country has taken a severe hit due to power surplus and govt regulations. My dads company just went bankrupt. No other firms are hiring. He has been jobless for 3 months. \n\n\n\n\nI'm a college freshman studying electrical engineering. I live in an Asian country where parents pay for college and kids don't work until they graduate. Seeing the situation now, I need to start making money. I worked as a marketing &amp; graphic design intern at two start-ups last summer. I also have two years of experience working on robotics/random electronics projects using Arduino/Raspberry Pi's. \n\n\n\nI need to somehow make enough in order to stay in college and complete my education. I have no clue how I can make money with no special skills. Can you guys please give me some advice on how to get through this?\n\n\n\n\n(I tried freelance graphic design on sites like freelance.com/Fiverr/etc but I couldn't get anything. In my marketing internship, I prepared a lot of advertisements. I also handled social media pages. A lot of copywriting was involved as well. I doubt I'm good enough to freelance)"
