If you are so good, why not just make plugins and automated things in C++ and sell them on the Unreal Market Place, or even C++ code sniplets, you can sell those too, for various softwares, Unreal is just one of them where you can create C++ and sell in the form of plugins.
Further more you can find job projects, there are tons of freelancer sites where you get hired on project based work, with a deadline, finish the project in time and get your money.
They pay good money in Second Life to make Java Based objects for game that can do stuff, these are just a few.
I feel this is the future, projects, get money. Why do you feel the need to wake up at 6 AM to go to work.
If you are dying of food starvation then get a freaking job at MCDonalds.
Unreal Engine is so easy to use, that even the most technically illiterate people can use it
That is really really bad man, insulting people that way.
