For adults here — if you were 18 again and broke, what would you start learning or doing right now to eventually earn good money and become financially independent?

Problem/Goal: I need to figure out a path where I can earn real money in the future. I love math and teaching, but let's be honest — being a teacher here won't make me financially stable fast. I want to eventually support my mom and siblings and leave my dad for good.

Context: I just turned 18. I'm currently taking an education program, and I genuinely enjoy it. But my family's situation is messed up. My father has some issues..., and as much as we want to leave, we can’t because financially, we’re stuck. My mom doesn’t have a stable income, so right now we still rely on him, which sucks.

And honestly, I feel like I can’t just rely on “study hard, graduate, blah blah.” Life is happening now, and I feel like I should already be building skills or something on the side, pero wala akong idea saan magsisimula.

Previous Attempts: Right now… wala pa. Just studying. No side skills, no extra work — mainly because I don’t know what is actually worth learning or doing, especially with no laptop and limited money.
