Re: Job That Couples Well w/ Online Poker On The Side?
If you don't care about the money and are just doing it to be socially acceptable, just start your own home business doing whatever you want. Sell stuff on eBay, mow lawns, or whatever you deem socially acceptable.
Given your background, one thing that comes to mind immediately is some type of business doing tutoring in math and science to high school and/or college students. There is always demand for this, hourly rates are decent, and you set your own hours. |

Just read the tagline -- the dude charges $400 per hour for tutoring. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Online tutoring is cheaper ... sometimes you see that as low as 20 per hour. Most offline, private tutors are at least 35-40. Good ones are more. Subjects like math and science command more money because there are more people that need tutoring in them and less people qualified to do it. |
