This is good advice. I will echo this by saying - ask within your community, start with your parents and see if they have any advice or anyone who needs work. Maybe some trades can be done on the side? Plumbing/Electric/HVAC? These are not fancy or glorious and won't get you rich, but quality tradesman work will always be in demand. |

In developing countries (I grew up in one), the trades (especially the ones you listed) don't pay well and are considered undesirable jobs.
The situation is interestingly reversed in first world Western countries, where trades people make 6 figures. This is rarely true anywhere else in the world.
The path to making money in a developing country -- without a degree -- is to run your own business. That, or to get into a very specialized, high-hazard or and very high skill trades, like underwater welding (for ships), piloting a plane (you start off as a cadet -- the airline will train you -- and slog for years to become a captain), etc.
