Job That Couples Well w/ Online Poker On The Side?

[ QUOTE ]
An actual doctor or chiropractor would likely take more years of schooling, but it is a good long term career choice. Chiropractors can spend time online playing poker between patient visits.

So that's what my [censored] doctor is doing while I'm sitting in the waiting room for 45 minutes! I knew that bastard was up to something.

I fix computers for people.

Easy money if you know what you're doing, choose your hours, do only the easiest jobs if you like. You have to put in some time to learn the stuff, but I believe anyone could learn this if they wanted. It really isn't hard.

I can charge at least £30/hour, which is what, $50? No idea what the going rate for computer fixing is in the US, but £30 is cheap in the UK. Business customers will pay much more - broken computers = lost business.

Hardware faults, problems with Windows, clean up virus / adware / spyware, copy "My Documents" and saved email from a crashing computer, etc. - plenty things are easy to fix, but are totally baffling to someone who just uses the machines.

The work is quite satisfying most of the time - people can be very happy when you save all thier important business data from what they thought was a knackered computer.

These days jobs are more common than ever - PCs and cheap broadband are everywhere, and Windows XP gets overrun by malware so easily.

Probably not your thing, but maybe an option worth thinking about. Most colleges run short PC repair classes.

You may want to be a nighttime manager for a small hotel.

I did this for awhile and it worked pretty well for me. Most of the job is just being there if the phone should ring, if someone gets locked out and so forth. There was a batch of reports I would run for the nightly audit (took about 30 mins) and things would pick up a bit with checkouts right at the end of the shift.

In between however I was able to get in about 6 hours of poker.

Are you athletic, do you live where it snows?

I have spent several seasons teaching snowboarding, and its very rewarding. You're outdoors, active, always meeting new people and enjoying a sport that most pople love. Totally stress free, show up for your shift, and enjoy your day.

I would reccomend a "small mountain" rather than one of the large resorts. At the resorts things are much more corporate, too much BS to deal with. Contrary to popular belief, you don't need to be an awesome skier/boarder to teach. Compitent to make it down the trails, and a decent personality are all thats needed.

Downsides are the pay is very low, and you need to find work in the off season. Although many of the regular instructors will have lines on easy sumer jobs

Good luck!
