How To Make Money?

[Cornflakes]

Ok I wrote yesterday and was asking everybody on if Thailand needs tradesman or not, the answer was NO NO NO

So what things are in demand in Thailand apart from Teaching English language, i'm noty knocking it but if i really want to live in Thailand that amount of money wouldn't really do too much!

So where's all the money at?

If someone was qualified in everything what would be the job to have in Thailand? Maybe working with computers?

Any help please
