so im siyting here thinking to myself how much it actually sucks to bust my ass all day to relax 2 days(weekends) out of the week.So I figured the easiest thing i could possible do for the most amount of money is to trade stocks like my man Jim Cramer (mon-fry cnbc 6:00 eastern us time(do the math)).


So i bought a couple of his books read them(high) they are really good books!!!
(reading books...WHAT...wild.)

any ways i thought it would be interesting to find out what would be the easiest job for the most money.

Sell your body and become a high paying escort. Seems easy enough to me, then again I prefer to have some hair on my balls and actually earn my keep, but that's just me. :D

stocks arent any harder than sports if you can properly coach a team you can "coach" your investment portfollio but seriously no one here knows what they want to do or thought about 5+ or 10+ years down the road...

I think a lot about dabbling in stocks but I am scared to get my feet wet and lose what I worked for... Real Estate has always been an ambition too...

I work at an animal hospital, $14 an hour to walk dogs. It's too easy. No drug tests or anything either. I LOVE my job.

Considering I'm only 18 though, not a great job to make a living off of =P

Yes, I'm still thinking about going to realty school after I graduate so I can maybe try my hand at flipping a house. Once I get my four year, get a real job, and get a little cash in order to invest in it.

I tried learning the stock market. My dad set me up with some of his friends who do day trading. They were just trying to explain what your doing, what your looking for, etc. I just can't see what they see. I don't make the same educated choices they do... :(

There is not anything that can be considered an easy job in the investment industry. Yeah, a few people get lucky and make it big without much work, however, you have to spend (risk) money to make money. If you don't want to day trade on you're own, a financial degree will get you a nice paying job on Wall St., but one has to hustle their ass off to make it big and stay on top.

Real estate isn't much better. One is a slave to the market conditions. You must become a buyer/seller agent to ride the correct tide. Easy? Think again. Most FT RE agents are putting in over 60 hours a week. If you can't handle disappointment don't become a real estate professional.

An easy job...that's simple...find something you love to do and do it. If you are lucky enough to get a job like that, going to work becomes more like just hanging out.

Well about the real estate thing yeah its easy and great to flip houses...
That particular market however,is a small sector in the stock market it gets hot it gets cold.I'de hate to be in your shoes when the market goes in a downward spiral like in the past couple years or so.


Meanwhile im making literally hundreds' of thousands shorting stocks in the housing market.I think the stock market is the best way to go IT'S THE $$$ECONOMY$$$!!!With dollar signs all over it!



I also thought about gambling(i'm an abvious risk taker) playing
Texas Hold' Em in the world series of poker...Vegas baby

My brother in law flips houses. Or, right now, he invests a bunch of money to fix them up and then there they sit. I've known several people who've had bad luck with that. It sounds good in theory. Seems you really have to buy the fixer-uppers in areas where theyr'e going to move again fast. And that's just not an easy thing to do.

The stock market seems easy, but if you're doing it right, you're studying those businesses, reading the prospectuses (prospecti?), reading stockholder reports, attending meetings, and watching the market steadily so you can buy when prices are down and sell others at the right time. You also have to spread your investments around so they're not all in one area. That way when one sinks, another might be surging and you haven't sunk all your cash in one sector. Succeeding at stock trading takes a lot more work that you'd think. You have to go into it knowing you are going to lose money as well as make it.

My father started doing it and now he doesn't do anything else.
He might as well be addicted to meth, except that he has enough common sense not to quit his job. But every waking minute that he's not eating or driving or at work, he's on the computer wasting time with stock charts. It's not that he's wasting time trying to make a living, it's that the most fearsome enemy in the stock market is yourself, and he knows absolutely nothing of himself. By the time he realizes how addicted he is and how much time he wasted in the dream of the future, he will already be too old. He will already have alzheimers. His entire life revolves around money, and he doesn't even need it. It's just an empty promise of freedom from the pain of the Now.

It's incredible how hard someone can work to lie to themselves, to rationalize their actions in the face of codependancy. And if you decide to go down this path, don't listen to Cramer, he uses his fans and has even admitted that some of his manipulations in the stock market would be illegal if they knew how he did it.

NO WAY CRAMER IS EVEL JIM CRAMER IS AS CLOSE TO A STOCK MARKET GOD YOU CAN GET TO.In his newest book Jim Cramer: Real Money he actually tells you how he pulls off certian impossible stunts(lightning round bieng one of them)







yes its true you must me diversified to to think about surviving a glance at the market so when a sector,housing for example goes down(twelve sectors in all) you still have you defense play,aeronomical,overseas,and your blue chip bangin dollars...



Btw im only 20 years old...
so now the time is to risk money for me and to dream big i still have the rest of my life..
People like INFERIOUS father should'nt have any risk in thier portfollio(assuming he has stocks)he is just to old he dosent have the time to make his money back...

making it in the worl of stocks is tough. people go to school for years to get medioker jobs. you could be on top one day and scraping trash cans th next. i work at a restraunt, i like cooking, it's so laid back. also you don't need any degree to get started, most kitchens will hire people to train. thats what restraunts want, experence. all the people i have worked for said they would rather have someone who worked for years in a kitchen over some one fresh out of the C.I.A (cullinary institute).

I was a lifeguard at a country club last summer. No one swam and I worked with a bunch of stoners. All we did all day was sit in this shack and smoke weed and occationally skim the pool. It might sound irresponsible to smoke a lot and drink and be a lifegaurd, but not where I worked. Litterally no one swam. On the weekends one old man did his laps in the mornings. It was sweet we had a dvd player and a play station set up. Plus all of my friends could come to this amazing country club and swim in a georgus pool and smoke weed. Best job ever.

:thumbsup:

now I feel stupid for posting this after the other posts. It's fun. But you make like $8.50 per hour. But you really dont do anything.
