Web Development is pretty easy to learn. You can potentially get a job without a degree if your portfolio and passion is strong enough.

Check out some of the guides on /g/. codecademy is a great introduction point.

multi-lingual.

Learn to read/write and speak a few languages.

The internet is amazing for reading and writing.
You learn the basics the same way you'd teach a child. Learning the alphabet first (a = apple) then basic words, gradually working your way up to more difficult works with more varied vocabularies. From there you can deduce words meanings from context or look them up.
Honestly, the best way to do it would be to start with children's books (or E-books) to reading novels.

While doing this, immerse yourself in websites, forums and video-games that use the language.

Similiarly, you can learn to speak+understand the vocal language by starting with cheesy kids shows and working your way up to more complex TV in the language.

All sorts of jobs you can get with this;
>Translation
>Immigration
>Jobs involving work with minorities
>Security services,
>Intelligence services,
>International business rep/associate,
>Transport, tourism or tourism linked (such as working at popular tourist attractions) jobs.

Bullshit. I speak English and German fluently, unless it's coupled with another degree, no one gives a fuck that some random fucker can speak two languages. Maybe if I had a degree in finance or something I would be a good guy to go overseas and talk to international investors. But just speaking two languages alone is worth fuck all in the age of google translate.

And interestingly enough, I've noticed that pretty much everyone who recommends learning a second language is mono-lingual themselves, which indicates how much of a meme skill it is.

Computer science was the only course I've dropped because it was so awful. It seems like the best choice though, so maybe I'll look at /g/ and see if I can give it another try.

I'm a girl and a weak one at that, I doubt I'd be able to do construction, let alone fit in.
