Below average jobs

Sales.

The vast majority of Americans hate the idea of trying to sell something. Many people would rather work for minimum wage at McDonalds than be a car salesman or a telemarketer so the jobs are easy to get and pay well.

I work in a telemarketing office for a resort. I have 8 phone sales agents. They have no marketable skills, just the ability to read and speak. Each makes a minimum of $500 a week, and my top agent takes home $1500 a week. He's a 21 year old high school dropout that never made more than $6 an hour before he started here.

That's not huge money, but it's pretty good when you figure that the average pay here is pretty low. Plus, we never work more than 30 hours a week.
