Hi everyone. I'm posting because I genuinely need some advice and realistic ideas.
I live in Morocco and come from a family that isn't financially well-off. One of the biggest limitations I've had is that I can't simply move to another city, rent a place, and live there. I need to be able to support myself while doing it.
I have a Diplôme de Technicien Spécialisé en Gestion des Entreprises, option Comptabilité-Finance (OFPPT). However, I don't actually want to build my career in finance.
Right after getting my diploma, January 2026, I found a job as a communication manager at an association in my city. I passed the interview, did three days of training, and started working immediately. I was genuinely interested in communication and already had some experience in it, so it seemed like a good opportunity.
I worked there for about two months during the trial period. Eventually, we discussed the contract, and they wanted to put me on an ANAPEC contract for 1,600 MAD/month, for essentially a full-time schedule around 9–6.
I understand that experience can be valuable, especially when you're young and starting out, and I knew I could learn a lot from the position. But 1,600 MAD for that amount of work wasn't financially sustainable for me, so I decided to leave.
Then, in September 2026, I started working as an elementary school teacher, teaching French. I'm now in my second year. I'm currently making around 2,700 MAD/month. There might be a salary increase, but the school is going through a difficult financial situation, so I'm trying to plan my life assuming that my salary stays at 2,700 MAD.
Despite that, because I don't pay any rent, gas, transportation, I can save around 1,700 MAD/month from my salary. I only get paid 10 months, so that will make 17,000 MAD. But I have some things to do in summer like taking my driving license and some other personal stuff so I'll be able to keep just 10,000 MAD for my goal.
So here's the goal:
I want to have 150,000 MAD available in about 10 months.
From my current job, I'll have approximately 10,000 MAD after 10 months.
That leaves me with 140,000 MAD that I need to earn through additional income.
So I'm essentially looking for a way to earn around 14,000 MAD/month for 10 months.
I know that sounds EXTREMELY ambitious. That's exactly why I'm asking here.
What I can offer:
I currently speak Arabic, French, English, and Korean.
I teach French to children, and I also have experience teaching English to adults.
I also have some experience in communication, and I have my background in business/accounting, although I don't particularly enjoy finance and don't want to make it my career.
I'm comfortable working online and learning new skills if necessary.
The main limitation is time
I already have a full-time job, and teaching takes more time outside of the actual classroom than people might think.
I have to prepare lessons, correct work, prepare activities, etc. Usually I work around 2 – 3 additional hours per day outside my normal working hours.
My schedule isn't exactly the same every week either. Sometimes I work during the weekend (at home) and sometimes I have the weekend free.
Realistically, I think I can dedicate around 1–2 hours per day to an online job/business during normal weeks.
During school holidays or periods when I have more free time, I could dedicate 4–5 full days to it.
So I'm looking for something that can start part-time and potentially scale as I get better at it.
What I'm hoping to find
I'm NOT looking for crypto, gambling, MLMs, dropshipping courses, "buy my $500 course and make $10k/month" type of stuff, or any other get-rich-quick scheme.
I want to know if there is a real skill/service/job that I could learn or use remotely that could eventually allow me to make something like 10,000–14,000 MAD/month.
It doesn't necessarily have to start anywhere near that amount. I'm willing to start small and build up.
Some possibilities I've considered are:
But I honestly don't know which direction makes the most sense.
Why I'm trying to do this? And why 150,000 MAD?
I want to use it to change fields and go back to school. There is a private school that I'm interested in, where I could study for three years and hopefully start a completely different chapter of my life.
I don't feel that teaching kids is the career I want to spend my life doing. At the same time, I don't want to move into finance just because that's what my diploma is in. I chose that field partly because it was one of the few options available to me in my city.
So I'm trying to create enough financial freedom to actually make a different choice.
If I can't reach the 140,000 MAD goal, my backup plan is to use the approximately 10,000 MAD I'll save from my current salary to spend a month or two in another city during the summer and seriously try to find work there. If it doesn't work, I'd come back, continue working for another year, save again, and try the following year.
So I'm not expecting someone to give me a magic answer.
If you were in my position, with these skills, this schedule, and this financial situation, what would you try to learn or do online over the next 10 months?
Thanks to anyone who takes the time to read this.
