Ask HN: 3.5 months to make 2,000 USD/month - what should I do?
Hello HN community
Throw-away account here, for privacy reasons. I got expelled from the university due to irreversible actions and I now have about 3.5 months to make 2000 USD/month to live more or less independently. I have no clue how I should make money.
I'm a business guy, but eager to program (few programming classes at university). So what's my best bet here? Learning just as much so that I can launch a SaaS app or try to freelance with my limited knowledge? Should I get into affiliate marketing, just to make money?
I can't see my other skills that worthwhile because sites like Elance have super cheap workers (with whom I can't compete with financially) with similar skills.
Working a "normal" job (waiter etc.) will be an option after 3.5 months, but I want to see whether I can make something work myself.

I appreciate any input!
