13 Legit Money-Making Skills You Can Learn Online For Free

This link I have shows an example of skills you can learn online for free with no need for high tuition fees. For people who are lazy, here is an example of a list of skills that you can make money out of:

Business development
Programming
Web Development
Graphic Design
Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
Languages
Economics
PR/Social Networking
Law
Mathematics
Fine Arts
Writing
Other Essential Software

For me, all I did was learn a bit of programming in college and then I actually self taught myself Actionscript 2.0 in Macromedia flash many years ago and I even made a flash game because of it. I am sure that if I could of just had enough focus, I could of learned the basics of programming myself with the use of tutorials which you can probably get for free online. If I really want to though, I can brush up on the java skills I learned in the past and try to be certified for the android platform as a way to thoroughly learn it and then make apps so that I can make a few hundred dollars per app along the way.

You see, the possibilities are endless, and in my view, people make more money off of specialized knowledge like cooking, programming and accounting, than they do with general knowledge gained from majors such as Psychology and even History. You can actually learn everything about history and psychology with just a library card which is why you do not really need to pay a high tuition fee just to be “enlightened”. I myself did not complete a major in a general field, but I did finish an online certificate at a community college. After completing the program, I then realized that if I majored in English, the feeling that I got from completing the certificate would be the same as if I completed an English major because it is not actually like if I would gain any skills worth having that would make me make more money per hour, just like I would not if actually did major in English. The only difference between what I did and what a person that would major in English did though is that the person with an English major would have much more debt than me.

So overall, if you did not go to university, it is actually not really so bad, since Tony Robbins in personal power 2 even mentioned about how there are some really old and rich people in this world with not much education at all and they did good in their own right. I think that education does not make you who you are, it is your skills and character that do. What do you guys think?

What shattered my illusions was when I learned that the mechanic who fixes the cars at the dealership where I bought mine makes more money than a department head at my old company.

Said department head had about 100 people working for him and it took him a master’s degree and about 15 years on the job to get where that mechanic was at age 25.

Where I live it takes 3 years of study to qualify as a mechanic, plus at least 1 year on the job to be considered time served. Study can extend out to 5 years for a qualification which is roughly equivalent to a doctorate. Personally, I don’t doubt the wealth of knowledge required to work on modern cars considering how complicated they’ve become in the last 15-20 years, and the technology is always changing so they never really get to stop learning.

I remember when being being a mechanic, or any number of jobs did not require a license to be that. And they did a better job, as well.

Everything is so regulated to keep the poor, poor. And turn the educational system into a defraudment system of funneling those that wish to better themselves into debt slaves for live.

That is not mentioned that even if you get the degree, by law everyone else has to be considered for the job in question. Any job, before they will even think of giving it to you.

And even if you make it through that, the system will see you made a slave through high taxes and high fees, and at best you will break even. I personally know people that worked their asses off for six figure annual salaries, and at the end of the year they didn’t have enough gas money to get home.

And don’t even think about getting married, having kids, and trying to start a family. All one will end up doing is paying alimony and child support, with you never seeing in children you have been claimed to have fathered.

And if you made it through all that, at the end of the day government will seize everything you have saved in one of their own going bail-ins (open thefts).

That is if the government doesn’t bleed you dry, over the course of years, with negative interest rates, property taxes, and permit fees on everything you have.

And when the government and their sycophants do any of this to you, they will portray themselves as the victim, and have you blamed and branded, and likely imprisoned, as a criminal for their crimes against you, their victim.

Let it all burn. I just want to know where the exit is. I want out of this hell.

You know, in the province of Ontario, Canada, you can actually take an apprenticeship to be a mechanic where you can start working in your trade and then go to a community college after every year of work to go do a vocational level with the unemployment insurance you get from being laid off from working the year before. So it would be like this as an example for taking an apprenticeship program in a let’s say a 2 level apprenticeship program in general:

<work for 1 year>
<to get trained for 15 weeks with the help of unemployment insurance you got from working a year>
<work for 1 year>
<to get trained for 15 weeks with the help of unemployment insurance you got from working a year>
<work for 1 year>

So you see, if you take Ontario’s version of an apprenticeship where all you need is an Ontario high school diploma to get into this program, you can finish it in like 2 to 4 years and it would always pay for itself since you are working for an employer right away and you will always be paid unemployment insurance as soon as you go to school at a certain period of time for maybe 8-15 weeks depending on the program.

So overall, if I ever want to become a mechanic, I would go that route.

Society needs you to be a slave who works for someone else and never realising your own potential. School makes you into a docile pet. To afraid to go against the status quo because it might threaten your wallet.

Society tries to make it seem like your doomed to fail if you drop out of highschool or don’t attend university. But if you have a legitimate plan you will effortlessly come out ahead. If you dedicate 4 years to your life to a career by the 5th year (which is the same time people would be finishing university) you’d certainly be earning a liveable wage and be your own manager. You’d be free. Plus instead of being in debt you’d have 4-5 years worth of wealth accumulated. Even if it’s just a grand a year 5 grand is a solid place to start.
