4. Make connections at school.
5. Promote music or bike races or wine festivals.
6. Be a route salesman for cookies.
7. Be a bartender.
8. Be a librarian.
9. etc.

Make connections by being Out In The World. Find out what you're good at. Find people to do that with. Some of them will pay you. Point yourself to some crazy goal, like being an astronaut or something. You might not get *there*, but you'll sure get *somewhere*-- which is better than being nowhere.

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
