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.
