Re: Where The $$$ Is...

There should be high paying jobs for spell checking if there isn't already.

The average pay for "spell checking" is between $12.00 to $15.00 per hour ... you will be laid-off once year. That will get you places.
A barber could easily make over $200.00 cash per day in a small town.
A plumber (start your won) could average over $100.000 a year, if you have some business sense.

There should be high paying jobs for spell checking if there isn't already. The job would consist of just browsing forums and blogs all day and making corrections, as I will demonstrate below.

Spelling corrections:

"whether"
"it's"
"programmer"
"that's"

Ya that would be an Awesome job.

Re: Where The $$$ Is...

Irrelevant what you do as long you have a sense of business.
First lesson .... work for yourself.

When I was younger, one thing that always frustrated me was that I felt my employers were underpaying me for my abilities. When I finally came to my senses and started doing my own thing, I was making much more money, setting my own hours, and my clients respected me for my abilities rather than my boss judging me for my age. Sadly, once I finished my bachelor's in engineering, I wasn't able to find a job that would pay near what I was making. And the field I was in had nothing to do with my degree.

Not everyone is able to do it (run a business), but for those that have the sense, and can work it well, it's great (no matter the field). Although I'm no longer in the field (back in school), I feel in America at least, education is the top priority, and having the right sense combined with the right education.....that's where the money is.

Interestingly enough, I know a couple of plumbers and carpenters that will surprise even the most well to do doctors/lawyers with the amount of money they were making.

There are alot of jobs out there that can give you a pretty decent income, but I think if you work with computers wheter its a programer or a technician, or anything that has to do with computers, thats where the real money is.

Re: Where The $$$ Is...

Yup I agree like doctors lawyers
But you can find a job easily if you know about computers

If you consider 75-100ish bank, then yes. There are lots of careers that earn an income in that range though.

Re: Where The $$$ Is...

And if you consider "working in the comp business" which I think means being a developer as making bank on average, then the amount of money these finance guys make will probably blow your mind away.

It's extremely hard to get into however, and you have to start young.

Re: Where The $$$ Is...

If you love money, and want to only work for money, then work in banking/finance. Those guys go through hell to get to where they are, but they end up making some serious dough (although they're not doing so well now, but then it's all cyclical). If you're young enough, you may still have a shot.

Re: Where The $$$ Is...

Computers is a very general way of describing any line of work. However, if you want to be in software development or support, I recommend you brush up on your Hindi. Where I work we have about 1/2 our staff in India and at least half the people in the U.S. I work with are from India.
