I've been dead broke for 3 months now. I was relieved of a job that I've spent over 7 years on. My annual pay was around $850 how stupid I was not to invest in myself, though it is never too late.
I have concluded that I'm no longer ready to sacrifice my time, doing such low end job. I'm currently in my mid 30s, no educational certificates just high school.
2 months ago I discussed with some of my friends who were living large with nice houses, and cars although these are all proceeds of online scams.
They taught me how to perform online scam. Things like sourcing for would be victims, creating or buying social media accounts to use for the operation and a whole lot of others.
But deep down in me i'm not comfortable with these, I once saw an aged woman who was recently scanned of her savings crying on a video call with one of my friends. Till date I still feel hurt by that video. Some of these scammers made me a laughing stock and called me names when I told them my feelings, they said I should smoke weed or take lots of alcohol to kill such useless guilt. But I don't smoke nor drink. I've currently left the scam training ground on the pretense of going to visit my family at the village.
At this point I'm stuck on 3 options.
1)Agree to learning how to smoke weed and alcohol, or look for other ways to kill my conscience and focus on the scams they do
2) Start a service like a blog, content creation on tiktok, Facebook, and YouTube to educate people on how most of these scams work. And do some paid consulting with scammed victims and those about to be scammed.
3) I'm already at intermediate level with python. I can scrape web pages and APIs, cleans dirty and messy CSV data, and some minor excel automation with python. So I'm considering sourcing for minor freelance jobs on Reddit, Facebook on other social medias.
I've read a lot about cyber security and my long term target is becoming a certified ethical hacker, after which I can offer and sell more robust scam detection services targeted at individuals and expose these scammers.
I already have a living expenses of $80 monthly than can sustain me and my family for at least 7 months if we live very frugal. But i will be doomed if I don't make anything after that 7 months. I can live comfortably well with my family on a $4000 annual budget. What would you all recommend? I need your honest recommendations please.
