Great jobs

[darkangelism]

I was watching this show on discovery channel about casinos and they said that a good cocktail waitress in vegas can earn $300,000 a year in tips. That is a great job. What are some other great jobs that you know of?

[Merika]

Here are some which don't require a college degree:
millwrights ($60,000);
household appliance and other electrical equipment repairers ($52,000);

rail and water transportation workers ($45,000);
firefighters ($45,000);

My b/f has been trying to talk me in to moving to Vegas or Bulixi so he can be a dealer... ( it will never happen) but it's true they make alot of money.

I think any sales job with high commissions is a great job. I sell securities and I didn't even finish high school.

my job

www.brinstrument.com These are what I sell- I travel all over the place saving hospitals $$$ and saving the environment

[Merika]

I'm not sure I would be a good salesman....unless people were coming to me. I couldn't do the cold call thing though.

SAles is deffinatly has the best perks you can usually work as little or as much as you want and get hig commissions. When I sell insurance policies I get paid every month untill the person dies or untill there policy lapses.


Working in the accounting feild I see alot of the following jobs do very well averaging over 75K a year

Realators
General Contractors
Travel Agents
Carpenters
Masons
Small business owners ( night clubs, construction, restaurants)
Pool Contractors
Property owners
Realestate investors

Most of the above listed in our client base gross more than doctors and lawyers, I also live in a highly driven realestate and development capital

I had a friend who was making $200 a day cleaning houses! And these were great houses and not all that dirty to begin with....just general maintenance stuff. Same is true for women who babysit at home.

I think as time goes along and more couples both work in a professional field....that the service jobs will escalate financially and more in demand.

[Stone]

Your right and that's scarry Greg and I will have to hire someone when I go back to work to watch the kids, clean ect... Like Alice from the brady bunch :? We don't want to give up our careers so we'll have to pay for it.

someone like that starts at 15.00/hr!!

My dream job

I'd have to be rich already b/c it would make no $$$

I want to own an animal conservation that rescues animals from circuses and wild or endangered animals that have been in captivity - I would do safari like tours of the place

as an add on I'd have a domestic animal shelter where peeps could adopt a pet once they have the "warm fuzzies" from seeing the big animals

[darkangelism]

Yeah Sales is really a good area.

[Merika]

So...you REALLY love animals Fayebelle! I love our pets just fine....but could easily live without them. My kids are both animal lovers.....especially Sn00py.

I hated sales with a passion because of the travel and time away from my daughter. I also flew to small towns like Waterloo Iowa so I developed a horrible fear of flying.

[Star]

our last year in our construction business, we made 1/4 of a million dollars gross that year. Every year we'd make more and more money. Construction has a lot of money in it.

[Duke]

Why did you leave the business?

[Star]

we ended up going into the red big time because our biggest contractors decided to disapear without paying us. it was a LOT of money leaving us owing the government taxes. we're going to bankrupt that and maybe start over in the future. We'll incorporate the next time around so it doesn't affect us personally. It was stupid of us not to do that in the first place. trial and error.
