Well, let's see, on the positive side:

I actually bookmarked some stuff about graphic design (except I'm a terrible artist, so I'm not sure how well that would go). A few times I tried to learn more about electronic hardware... and failed. If I try to learn it from a book, I retain little. But there's no way for me to teach myself without spending loads of money on stuff to take apart. Even that might not work out; when my last tablet broke I tried to fix it myself. I couldn't even get the backing off, I popped off and lost the power button, and have no idea if I damaged anything inside. Too bad because according to the tutorials online, it should be fixable.

Aside from really lame soft skills, and writing about myself. . .
Looks like maybe technical writer or -- how about comedienne? Yes, the latter is a tough field to get into. Do you live in a city where you could go try out with a comedy club for free? I don't know a thing about that, though, so maybe it's a dumb question. Except that I've noticed self-deprecation can be an asset.

What are the soft skills, maybe not so lame, like your typing speed is improving!!

I get it that survival is a priority, though living away from home right now may be a close second.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
