I’m in the US, no degree, and absolutely sick to death of working in retail.

I’ve tried all the jobs website. They haven’t even gotten me an interview. The only job search method that’s ever given me results is to think of businesses near me and apply to them directly. But that only leaves me working more retail, since public facing businesses are all I’m interacting with.

I just want a job that pays my bills, and lets me work on a consistent schedule. I’m so sick of having my hours constantly whipped back and forth. I just want to go to bed at the same time every day.

    Have you considered the “other” economy?

    • Prostitution or pimping
    • Drug selling (B2B naturally, not retail lol)
    • Drug manufacturing
    • Panhandling
    • Arms Trafficking
    • Terrorism (eco, political, religious,)
    • Religion (start your own church. There is a low barrier to entry here as a street preacher, plus you can combine this with some of the others, but you can work your way up to megachurch pastor with your own jets.)
    • Mugging/Home Invader/Burglary
    • Crime Enforcer a.k.a. the kneecapper
    • Politician
    • Spy/snitch (private/corporate/government)

    It’s really about understanding yourself. What are your needs? What are your natural strengths? When you do what you love, you’ll never work a day in your life.
