In order to get paid to give answers, be it online or whatnot, you have to have credentials related to the subject, such as Dear Abby. The only thing I can think of as far as youngsters making money... I've heard of a girl that made a lineup of slippers and made millions (after patenting them, of course).
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
