Or working for someone else, I've took courses for digital marketing, building professional websites etc (web designer).
I sometimes get on Yelp and contact several restaurant owners or other business that might have a website and call them If they are interested In getting their website freshly done, If they say yes I emailed them my portfolio etc In one client I earned $500 dollars In just a few hours.
People who don't have money on their bank it's because they lack creativity.

I think all members have read a book but I think there are few who read consistently and regularly. I do not say this because I think members are more or less intelligent but simply because from my observations most people are not avid readers. I personally see reading as something positive and it honestly leaves me a good impression knowing that someone enjoys reading. My alma mater is a humanities college so it would be odd if I thought otherwise. I also do not understand why fictional literature is being looked at in a bad light in this thread because the overwhelming majority of literary classics are fictionalized and nevertheless profound, complex and psychologically challenging. If Dostoevsky were alive today, his novels would probably be best sellers too and that wouldn't make his work any less relevant or profound. He was very popular in his time too. Not everything that is popular is necessarily bad, we just have to know how to separate the wheat from the chaff. And not everything that we perceive as bad may necessarily be "bad". Many authors were completely ostracized and ignored during their lifetime, only to become classics of world literature long after their death.

Ah, yes. I too liked Holden Caulfield.
Apparently they kiddoes today do NOT relate to him. To today's kids he comes across as a spoiled over-privileged brat whose parents keep bailing him out and sending him off to yet another expensive private school. They feel that he needs to quit whining and take his meds.
The one thing about him that kind of irked me was that, even though he was only about fifteen, he already seemed to know his way around the NYC bar and nightclub scene. He was having a lot of fun for someone his age. Also, he seemed to have a whole rolodex of friends and acquaintances to call up and hang out with, which is odd for somebody who was supposedly so socially disenfranchised.
Money, friends, social connections, overly-doting parents, but he is miserable because he doesn't like having to write book reports.
