You don’t have “no skills”, you just haven’t tested yourself yet.
Since you need money urgently, focus on skills that are in demand, not hobbies.
Here’s what to do:
Go to job sites and search for entry-level business or event roles.
Look at the skills they require (Excel, communication, sales, social media, coordination).
Pick one skill that appears often and start learning it immediately through free online resources.
Volunteer or assist at college events to gain basic experience.
You don’t need passion first; you need exposure and action. Skills grow when you start doing.

Hi Sivya,
From my perspective, we all have some skills and hobbies - we just need to look inside and explore what those are. Here are a few suggestions from me -
Explore transferable skills: Even without specific experience, think about skills you already have from your studies or daily activities, such as communication, organization, teamwork, or time management, which are valuable in many jobs including event management.
Start small and learn on the job: Look for internships, part-time roles, or volunteer opportunities in event management or related fields to gain practical experience quickly and build your resume.
Consider short courses or certifications: Many online platforms offer affordable or free courses in event planning, marketing, or administration that can boost your skill set and make you more attractive to employers.
Identify market demands: Research job roles in your area or online where entry-level candidates are accepted and where you can quickly develop skills that are in demand, such as customer service, sales, or data entry.
Leverage your network and stay proactive: Reach out to friends, family, or university career services for leads and advice; apply widely, tailor your applications, and consider flexible or temporary jobs to start earning while you build your skills.
Hope this is helpful!

Learning new skills and gaining career experience takes time, but that's okay. If you're in college, you have a great opportunity to explore and grow. Talk to your professors about finding your niche and building a project portfolio. Consider joining or even starting a club. Volunteering with charities or non-profits is also a great way to gain experience. I hope this helps.

It’s completely okay to feel unsure about your skills, especially when you’re in college and trying to figure out how to start earning money. Since you’re already studying BBM and have an interest in event management, that’s a great starting point — even without experience. You can begin by volunteering or helping with small events, college programs, festivals, or local community activities to get a feel for the work. This helps you build real skills quickly. You can also talk to your college’s career counselor about identifying your strengths or take free online career/interest tests to get a better sense of what fits you. Everyone starts somewhere, and you don’t need a long list of hobbies to find a skill you can grow into a career — you just need to take the first small steps and explore what feels right for you.
