As a project for my finance class, how would you legally make money starting from zero?

Legally starting from 0 dollars to your name.
What would you do and how long before you could reach 100k?

Easy. I would solve a math problem and then collect my reward.

I would write an edgy novel about life in college, create a social media presence to develop an audience, then get an agent and sell the book.

Of course, that's easier said than done. But I know people who have paid off their student loans with money they made from a book sale.

I'd start a TikTok account, become a MAGA influencer, get a job in the administration and skim taxpayers' money (in a legal way of course, just like the other ones in the administration).

Hair Braiding - All I need are the heads. Moms/Dads would bring the combs and Barretts. I’m Melungeon-Sri-Lankan with tightly curly hair and a family mixture of straight and curly. I would offer services for kids hair braiding first. With the money I made I would expand my hours and business locations.

Negotiate, offer your services, ask for a loan and propose a plan, start a Ponzi scheme fast.

Or cheat on DCUM by posting your assignment (we’ve all hear this one btw). Dont cheat.

Is it 100k in earnings or 100k in savings?

If the former, I’d provide high quality childcare in that afternoon/evening slot so many parents seek. Plus help with kitchen cleanup/meal prep.

You could still have time for leisure, school, or another job shift working or self employed in the mornings.

18-24 months.

You need a lot more context here. Am I me, a legal citizen with reasonable physical and mental health and a college degree? Am I unhoused? Do I have access to credit? Am I clothed?
