Get a real job. It's great. You might hate it from day to day, but real life experience is really nice plus you get to interact with people rather than a computer screen. That always brightens the day. Seriously, I worked in a deli for a while and I complained about it, but after I left I felt like I had nothing to do and something was missing. | ||

And you aren't going to find something that effortlessly gives you income. You could make a website which provides decent content or a service and try and monetise that (You're going to need 'an idea'), or there are various ways to make money from affiliate marketing or ebay via reselling or dropshipping. If you want a decent-ish resource for this kind of thing, http://www.wickedfire.com can be pretty informative. And if all else fails grow a pair and get a job.What the fuck is wrong with people this is the real world nothing is going to come easy it takes will dedication and a willingness to do better.And unfortunately like most of us you seem to be in that boat.Americans by and large are a lazy group of whiners who think the world owes them something.Go prove yourself be the best you can at what you do (willing or not) and always work like someone is watching because you'll never know when or who is watching. end rant | ||

Reselling crap from ebay makes the most sense to me. | ||

Reselling crap from ebay makes the most sense to me. actually FuDDx isnt too far wrong, 14 is a good age to wise up (in my area). I seen quite a few poor people who didnt realise that young and slack.. and having to play catch up 5 years later. quite screwed up really. | ||

If you're up to it, move up to actual programming of web applications. There market is huge and ranges from crappy guest books to enterprise level applications, which can earn you a ton of money. Money aside though, it's something constructive that teaches you skills you can transfer to many things that life may have planned for you. It'll look a lot better on your CV too than playing clicky-poker. It gives you a lot more options when it comes to looking for a proper job, including self-employment, start-ups (can be a lot of fun), and just about any classical industry. Web presence, marketing, networked apps keep gaining in importance in about all industry branches, so you could definitely spend your time doing worse things. I for myself have been doing some webdesign and application development on and off since I was, hum, maybe 15. Now at 26 I'm close to finishing my PhD (nothing to do with the www though), but at the same time own an internet start-up based on a web-application that I have developed together with a friend of mine. Despite the fact that I was doing it on the side, it's been quite successful and would pay for both of us as a full time job if we wanted. It's true what somebody said above, on the web life is tougher (mainly faster) than "irl" because you compete with the rest of the world, but at the same time you have a lot more easy opportunities. So if you don't have to invest anything other than some free time, it's definitely worth a shot. Hell, even if my company had turned out not to be successful, the lessons I learned doing it were more than worth it. | ||

 I actually do video editing in my spare time, but I don't really know what to do with it other than learn what I can do. I have found out it takes a great amount of creativity to use what Adobe After Effect has to offer and I need to get used to that  | ||
