cornishcarlos Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 I "recommand" you take an English class Alternatively, how about a proof reading course ? You can do them online, distance learning, and there is always demand for this skill in South east Asia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolf5370 Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Close to half a million what, baht/dollars/euros/pounds? Big difference. As the old business adage goes - "only invest in what you know, and only invest what you can afford to lose". Most things that earn money in IT takes technical know-how, in which to be in a position to compete you do not have enough time. What is your current business? Is it possible to offshoot or expand this in someway? Do you have any hobbies that could be leveraged into making a venture from? Hard to answer as a layman with no idea about your strengths and weaknesses, background, knowledge or interests, to be fair. It's like the oft asked "what can I do to earn a million dollars in a year?" questions that come up on Q+A sites. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Conners Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 As this is not a technical issue but a job issue I'm moving the topic to the Job forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExpatJ Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Teach your self stocks trading & technical analysis (to buy and sell stocks over a period of days/weeks rather than buying and holding for years) and invest your money in Thai stocks. I did this myself beginning a year or so ago- its fun when you get into it and profitable (sometimes:) . Only invest in solid growth stocks so that if your technical analysis goes wrong you will still get you money back with change if you wait a few weeks/months.
