what i love - flea market hustler.

I'd like to deal in junk. You know, a step below antique shop, though antiques would also be involved. A little bit of everything, and some handmade crafts for my own amusement, and to kill time.

yep, I'm actually gearing up for that right now. something i can do for fun, make some side cash, w/o massive amounts of overhead. Plus, I can keep my day job and enjoy this entry level cadillac PPO.

antique dealing requires just too much money/inventory.

Drug dealer. You get laid, you get rich and you don't have to worry about getting old because you will either be in prison or dead. Plus you get to make a lot of people really happy...

I would have stayed a patent examiner instead of becoming a patent attorney. I would make almost as much money, but would have 5 guaranteed weeks of paid time off plus 2.5 guaranteed weeks of sick leave every year. And no stress.
Nearly 9 years after making the above comment, do you still feel that way?

I didn't really know when this thread was made aside from maybe some kind of inside technical work, but I've definitely decided being inside sucks. If I wasn't surveying, I'd be an arborist.
