I didn't get kicked out for excessive partying.

Valid point! What I meant by those two statements: I don't know what technical skills give me the best ROI.

basic needs are covered for 3.5 months (at a emergency case [i.e. no job] maybe a little longer) that's why I want to invest this time wisely.

1.5 year business degree, with some side-"businesses" on my own (i.e. needed a bike, asked the shop owner whether I could re-design his homepage, he agreed, I outsourced the job and got the bike at 95% reduced price).

I do have (simple) ideas for possible Saas Apps (who doesn't? :) ) - but I'm not sure whether I can make them work financially, so I'm kinda trying to estimate my chances before diving in too deep.

I'm definitely looking for a long-term investment (I think coding fits the bill), but I do need short-term money and if I can combine both that'd be a win.

Coding is fun (atleast the stuff I did at home, aside from the university problem sets), but I'm no whiz so that's why I think I could become a product manager in the future.
