Yes, you've used that excuse on us now hundreds of times. How's the smartphone project going? I think Hoover dam was built in less time than it is taking you to buy or get one free.

Ever watch American Pickers? Two guys who travel around the country in a van searching for antiques they can buy low and flip for profit.

Since they do it for a living, it is clearly a skill, but I've never heard of an employer looking to hire people to do this type of work as employees.

In general, a skill which allows one to be self-employed and earning a self-sufficient living, but is not in demand by employers, is a non-job skill.

Right now there are thousands of people making a living re-selling on eBay, that qualifies as a skill.

You have thousands of "job skills." The Costco next door to my apartment (cheap apt and brand new) pays those folks who pass out food samples $14 bucks an hour and I live in a low cost of living state. The Costco is about 100 yards from my new apartment complex. That's 30 grand a year right there just using a small percentage of my brain power to indicate to you that you don't really want to improve yourself.

You could live on half of that in a brand new apartment and work and save 15k a year and still sell your stuff on eBay.

What's your excuse now? You say your life is miserable. Heck, I have lots of money and I choose to live here in this new complex. Certainly you could and you could earn more by doing tons of other jobs.
