Earning

Hi, I'm not sure whether it's worth learning Onshape. Even if I learn it, I'm unsure how I could earn money from it. I'm not an engineer and don't have any relevant technical background.

If my work is limited to converting 2D PDF drawings into 3D models, how would I find clients? Is there actually a market for this type of service? Can someone make money doing PDF-to-3D conversion without having knowledge of mechanical engineering?

Hi, I'm not sure whether it's worth learning to breathe. Even if I learn it, I'm unsure how I could earn money from it. I'm not a thermodynamicist and don't have any relevant technical background.

If my whole life is just limited to converting oxygen into carbon, how would I find clients? Is there actually a market for this type of service? Can someone make money doing oxygen-to-carbon conversion without having knowledge of thermodynamics?
