What can I do? I'm almost cent-less. :(

I will not display my age, but I can tell you I'm still a student. My dad passed away 2 years ago, and my mom isn't working long time ago after she has married to my dad. Now all the savings have been used and frankly say there are no money left, I dare myself to say my family's financial status is even lower than a hard-laborer.

I have a brother and he is currently studying doctoring. It needs approx 250k and I need around 80-100k(not that ambitious). Is it said that I'm going to sleep on the street one day?

If you think this is a joke then please go away, you don't have to reply.

Edit/Note : I am not belongs to China

 

This might sound crazy but..


Get a JOB?

 

My brother and I need that money in this year and next year already, it's too late. And relatives are having financial problem too(they have kids).

 

Postpone your studies for 1-2 years while you work to get some money...

 

Do the locomotion ... sorry couldn't resist.

On a serious note... I take it you're not old enough to get a loan? Or cut your outgoings (lower your internet package, etc..) ... no one can just get $$$ in minutes. (Unless you won the lottery) :/

 

As you are offering Enlish to Chinese translation service... try RentACoder.com i've seen many translation projects there!

 

Yeah... You have to find what you are good at...
Like Rage said, try Freelance projects.
Your skill is probably your command on Chinese.
Chinese is a hot language right now...
Why don't you write a book like "Dummies Guide To Chinese" or something like that.
At least, you won't have to live on the streets.

 

I sincerely thank you all for your replies

Postponing my studies will make it worse, we need to eat, pay electric bills, house/car maintenance, and some other more.

All the fees and usage have been cut down to the lowest possible, and I'm still thinking of cutting down more.

But freelance cant get me 350k(my brother and mine) in a year or 2, and I refuse to study 6 to 7 years later

 

well if you have enough time, try click-to-pay.
it won't get you 100k in one year but it could give you a little extra money without you doing much.

 

Theres no way you're going to gather together 350k out of thin air. People have given you some good advice regarding translation freelancing or getting a job offline. Realistically I doubt you're going to get that 350k anytime soon; It's going to be years and years of saving or lucking upon some business genius.

 

Maybe what you two are studying is unrealistic. Change what you are studying to something that is feasible and cheap yet is in harmony with your interests.
Don't blow all your money on education, look for alternative ways.
Get a part-time job, plan your finances and set realistic goals.

 

Is the 350k in USD? I am also intersted what country you are from? 100k USD is enough to buy a 3 bedroom condo in a commercial district where I am from. Your tution fee is very expensive.

 

Bill Gates dropped out and look at him... so did many people. Most celebs dropped too.

 

Looking at your avatar and signature I think you come from China?
200k for a degree in China lol

 

Nope, I'm a Chinese but not from China. I planned to complete my studies in UK or US, they are cool I believe.

Thanks guys, I'll just think for alternatives, or perhaps, I'll drop my studies like what you all just said.

 

First of all get as much work as you can and earn as many bucks as you can.I know you wont get work worth 200k but you will have to start somewhere.
Second try Prayer power.I am not joking and I mean business.I have tried it and have moved from nearly your position to the position in which I am now.So don't take prayer power lightly.

 

Here is the Harsh truth!

No one is going to donate you 35K.

You have to start by earning cents to $$$$$.

Right now i can only see you have skills on Chinese, so go for it...
