Let’s say a magical fairy hands you $10k each month…lol, that you may stop receiving after a few years. How could you build a business or invest that money so that it becomes a reliable income? And you have zero schooling, just starting from scratch. E-commerce? Buy a food truck? Day-trading? Real estate? What would you do if you were starting from zero and this is all you had? Sorry for the stupidity of this question!

It sounds like you lack both original ideas and experience. I'm not trying to be mean, just calling it as I see it.

If you want to get into the business world the best education you can get is getting a job at a startup/early stage company. You'll get experience in range of aspects of running a business whereas in a regular job you tend to be stuck in a narrow tightly defined role.

In my previous startup my first ten employees were kids straight out of university and a majority of them were either promoted internally to senior roles as the company grew or left to work in senior positions in other companies - some starter their own businesses.

That being said none of those kids were "normal". They were either highly intelligent, unusually creative, or driven AF. Often a mixture of the three.
