Because of my lack of a degree, I have only managed to get jobs that pay me at most $10 a day; that despite my knowledge of three languages (spanish, french and english), good programming skills, and good GPA. I guess this happens when you are stuck in a third world country, but I would really appreciate any suggestion on how to get out of this; cause I have already done what you have recommended me to do.

It's tough, I don't want to sound like I'm belittling your struggle for income.

How about turning to the entrepreneurial spirit? What problems exist in your community that you can help solve and will earn income? Maybe your need for a comfortable chair is something others are struggling with?

Can you take your programming and language skills and find jobs online? Translation? Amazon's Mechanical Turk? kgbkgb.com? elance.com?
