Wow...It's been so long.  If I were desperate and in need of money, I would probably start thinking about getting a job.  If I could not find a job with my qualifications, then I would probably start thinking about receiving an education.  If I could not secure a formal education, then I would educate myself utilizing the free resources available to me such as public libraries and the internet.  If none of that worked out, then I would probably sell some of my gold.
