          Learn Horse Racing but use a strict mechanical system and use Youbet.com

          Its USA regulated and you can withdraw funds and deposited funds into your checking acct

          Just like NetTeller...

          But STOP at 3 wins per day in horses.....unless Murphy's Law will bite you in the ass...

          Derive 75% of your income from Horses and 25% from sports investing..

          Glad I could help....

                Most schools check if you have a criminal record, you know to make sure your not a low life.

                And we all know your a stiff.

                      going into school with the mentality that you want to make six figures is a bad idea, you'll probably pick something you end up hating but you'll be stuck with it. find something that interests you, that way you're passionate about it and will be able to put in good work. besides, if you find something your great at there's no reason you can't end up making good money off of it.

                          Get a generic BA/MBA and then corporate sales. It's not the stablest employment in a recession but once the economy picks up again you can pull this in pretty easily over the year. Barring that if you need recession proof medical field is the place to look.

                                  "once the economy picks up again"


                                  is that what is going to happen when 2 YEARS OF UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS finally run out for people and 10 million more foreclosed homes in shadow inventory hit the market?

                                  seriously though not many places to make six figures these days "with the least amount of schooling". dentists, doctors, lawyers, etc those all take tons of school obviously.

                                  if i were doing it over again i think i would skip the schooling and learn a trade like plumbing that can still pay the bills even when people aren't building too much in terms of new construction. then you're making money instead of spending it on school for years that may or may not pay off.

                                      Maybe I'm old fashioned but that's like a male hairdresser.

                                                This is great advice from burrito.

                                                Trust me. Money does bring fulfillment or happiness no matter how much of it you have. Plain and simple it is not real.

                                                  can i make good money off of those things?

                                                    Go into business for yourself. I made the decision 16 years ago I would never have a boss or work for someone. Only way to get ahead is to go into business for yourself. Unless you become a good Dentist, Doctor or high powered Attorney. Sure you there are professions where you can make 6 figures easy but do you want to be on the high end close to 7? Orale

                                                          and what is your personal expierence with this? I come from a family of self employed and business owners and not 1 has ever filed bankruptcy. Not to mention the most succesful people in this world have failed miserably at least once before they became a major success.

                                                            You might experience discrimination from female patients when it comes to intimate areas. Most are accustomed to female nurses and won't be as comfortable with a male nurse.

                                                            Lot of women aren't comfortable with a male doctor either but they would be even less comfortable with a male nurse.

                                                              depends what you're self employed IN of course

                                                              hard to go bankrupt if you work from home or have an office somewhere as a professional with low costs and high fees.

                                                              EASY to go bankrupt if you own a restaurant, hair salon, gas station, or other high cost/low fee business
