*Anything will do. I am decent at gambling and poker. For liquid poker, can you cashout and do they give you a starting amount? Or do you actually have to physically put money into the game using your OWN money. Also if someone has some free betting sites for sports, feel more then free to give me a link. Just make sure that you don't need to give any money whatsoever and you can cashout at a reasonable price.   | ||

Edit: but on a more serious note you could look for good ebay deals and resell them, one of my friends from high school made a lot reselling cameras | ||

You might think I'm an asshole now, but the sooner you learn this humility, the more money you'll save (and therefore make) at online poker if you do choose that route. | ||

If you want to that badly you can make a ton of play money, and then sell the play money for a very low price in real money. Or you can play freerolls until you win something. | ||

Just fyi, there are much safer ways to 'make money from the internet' than gambling. 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. | ||

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. | ||

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  | ||

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 I didnt know how to program either, nor did I have a mentor. That's not a show stopper at all. For many of the popular languages there are many good books and a TON of information on the web. Whole books, examples, tutorials and what not. If you really want to, then nothing's stopping you. That said, it'll probably take a little while until you'll earn hard cash if you're just starting out. If you want some extra pocket money without investing first (time mainly), then there are lots of small jobs, be it wal-mart, paper delivery, burger place and so on. Maybe not lots of money, but reliable, and gaining you a bit of independence (which is probably one of the things you are looking for, from what you said about your parents). If you go for one of those, look for jobs with people interaction, i.e. be behind the counter instead of at the burger grill. Not only is it less boring, but it teaches you a few things too. You said you do video editing. I don't know how good you are, but let's assume you can do a fair job, then that's something you could look into too. As with learning something new (be it programming or close-up magic - which pays lots of money too btw), it'll be a lot more effort than signing up for burger-chain-x, but be a lot more rewarding because it's your own thing. I'm thinking offering a service of professional editing of amateur wedding/birthday/graduation/whatever film material for example. If you can find someone vaguely talented and in possession of a digital camera that'll also open a lot more opportunities. A couple of guys around here run a media&marketing company, producing film and video clips, mainly 2-3 minute trailers for websites, but they also get booked to film at weddings and other private occasions. Start small, try offering the service for free to friends/relatives if there is the opportunity and see how it plays out. If you can see yourself doing that, and the customers like it, maybe that's something to do on the side. A final word though: in terms of cash, starting your own business never pays much at the beginning, and usually requires a lot of effort. What you gain is satisfaction, in addition to the pennies at the start. If you're up to it, go for it, but if it's just about the cash, then sign up for somebody else's business. Good luck ;-) | ||

Not having a mentor shouldn't stop you, there are tons of resources/tutorials online. Also, TL has a fairly large number of programmers (myself included) that I'm sure would help you out if you post problems. To get you started, here are some resources: First you'll need something to write programs in, an IDE. Thankfully Microsoft offers free versions of their IDE for a variety of languages here: - http://www.microsoft.com/Express/ I would recommend learning either C++ or C#, probably C# as it's easier and quicker to get things running. I think you'll find it less frustrating as a beginner. Depending on what you want to do, different tutorials will be required. A suggestion, if you're interested, is to make games using C# and the XNA framework. It's very easy to start making games, tutorials are very easy to follow and cater to people that have had no programming background, and it can be fun to do. You can get a complete walkthrough and everything you need to get started here: http://creators.xna.com/en-US/ I think you'll be able to stick with it far more easily if you do something you enjoy, so if game development has ever interested you then this might be your thing. Good luck, feel free to PM me if you want more help or post here and I'm sure someone will help out. | ||

How can you be so clueless about a job? You expect this shit to be handed to you? Go do some research and do some of your own work, especially if you have so much free time. And no, you won't find anywhere where they let you work 2 hours a day. | ||
