is there a "retard-proof" method?

[rocketguy3321]

Eh? I meant you could make money tutoring fellow students in some or all of the languages you speak.

sorry, I thought you meant to say that I had taken up classes... my bad!

Stop blaming the world for your situation - get off your a$$ and find a way to make it work.

harsh words; but I deserved every one of them; thank you for this; I could never EVER blame my parents, and you're right, blaming chance is retarded.
I cannot choose how many classes I make, that's how it is; I'm not that stupid, I would've changed my schedule long ago if I had the option;

I just realised how big of a wuss I am ... really, thank you!

I thank you all for your advice, and especially for the sincere and constructive criticism!
I can now proudly say,

Have a good one!

No worries. Tutoring can get you seriously laid, too. So...there's that.

Good luck,

If you're doing 5:30am to 8pm at school, don' think you can make money doing IM in the short 1-2 hour span you have left in your day.

Either lighten up your course load or get a job near your uni you can work between classes. I know its hard in France right now, but I don't think IM is the solution for you right now. It takes time to build up any sort of stable income.

You do know there are options other than going 'to uni' from sunrise to sunset, don't you? You can reduce your course load and take a part time job to either pay the bills or at least help to. As others have said, if IM was 'retard proof', then everyone would be doing it and raking in the money - clearly that's not the case.

For 2 years I earned my Bachelor's by taking classes at night AFTER I worked my full time day job (IT professional) AND worked IM part time - all along with a family.

Don't blame it on chance and don't you dare blame it on your parents. Your parents raised you to the point where you could get into that Uni - if they can pay for part of it - good for them. If they can't - IT'S ON YOU. Don't feel so entitled where you think that it's anyone responsibility other than your own to get you through it - grades AND payment. Take out loans if your country has the option but if you have to drop to part time - or drop out for a period of time to get your finances in order, then that's what you do.

I worked DAY LABOR (back breaking HARD physical work for minimum wage) when I was in my early 20s so I had enough cash to put gas into my motorcycle to look for a better job. I taught myself most of the computer skills I have today but just recently completed my Bachelor's degree because I wanted to 'fill in the gaps'.

Stop blaming the world for your situation - get off your a$$ and find a way to make it work.

// lecture - sorry to others reading this - obviously, he kinda hit a nerve. lol

You speak 4 languages? Then go to oDesk, elance etc. and do translations for people.

Besides that I don't believe that uni in France is 7 days a week. Work on the weekends (regular job).
