    How about a Lawyer: (???)
    Cos’ you never know when one will come in handy!!!

    I think I'd go for Artist: Creative, Critical, Thought provoking, Observer of life: what was, what is + what might be.

    Well, I do art, and writing, but will I really make enough money from that? I always thought you have to be really lucky to become successful from those skills, otherwise you will have to get a job you hate just to get enough cash. Am I wrong? How much do abstract paintings and real-life sketches go for? If anyone knows a good book publisher Id need to know that as well... Thanks for the replies you guys.....Much love

    I actually know a guy who got a job testing Trojan Condoms at the Ansell Healthcare Products manufacturing plant in Dothan, AL. He was (pardon the pun) real excited about his new job. Then he found out he tested them by inflating them with air to check for leaks.

    Self employed anything, Massage Therapist worked for me. Low overhead, and you set your own hours. Great satisfaction in seeing people become pain free. And if someone asks if your high, red eyes are due to allergies. Most states do not require a licence but thats changing.

    That's someone who works on cars (or trucks or vans or motorcycles or lawnmowers etc) under a big shade tree in his [or her] backyard. Low overehead, all cash income, set your own hours, all in all.... not bad.
    Works out well if done part time & farmer part time, since most small farmers are their own mechanic too. You've got the tools, work shop, etc. might as well pick up a little cash when you can.

    Peace,
