You mentioned that you want to work here in Turkey, and that you want to get a work permit.. You didn't mention what kind of work you were looking for.. but just to say that if it is hotel, bar, restaurant work or such like then it's very doubtful that you will get a work permit.
Work permits are issued initially for people that will fulfill an employment position that a Turkish citizen cannot fulfill.

There are also online telephone jobs selling flights and holidays - commission based.

You won't get rich but it is quite rewarding & challenging at times - a legal way of earning a little money without a work permit - the college sort it out & pay all taxes for you.

It is an up to date site with some tour companies with vacancies and a useful site in general. Good luck
