Reporter: If you graduate tomorrow, what ability do you have to survive?
Student: I might starve to death.
========================
Is "what ability do you have to survive?" natural in English? It sounds unnatural to me. I guess a native speaker would simply ask "What would you do for a living?" or "How to survive?" or "What to do for your survival?" I am not sure.
What would a native speaker ask?
