I made some money in college because I had a manual typewriter, which worked when the power was off, which was a lot of the time. If you had a paper due, you’d pay me a per-page fee, plus wine and candles, to get it done during a power failure. In which world was your college? First, Second, or Third?
In order for the get paid to type while power off business model to be viable, I'd guess Third. Probably Kenya or somewhere else on the same continent. LOL!
