USDA has a bird depredation program where they go around and shoot cormorants off their roost out of boats in local lakes/swamps to help out the catfish farmers

Yacht Broker

Make 10% commission hanging out at the marina showing boats seems like a sweet gig to me.

My cousin was a meeting/convention planner.
He would contact a resort hotel and tell them a company he represented wanted to have their annual meeting in their city.

Hotels went overboard to impress him and would comp his visits to observe various meetings. He visited all over the country and really enjoyed his job.

Cleaning gutters. No, it's not glamorous, but people can make a couple hundred bucks per job and do 4-5 jobs a day. Bring in $1k per day is doable. A great little gig for young dudes.


4-5 jobs a day?

1 hour per house
0.5 hour per travel between houses

If you did 5 jobs in a day, that’s a 7.5 hour work day. People are paying $200 for a 1 hour gutter clean?

So you just blew smoke up your own arse about how great you are and gave us zero detail on what your job is? Got it. You are so cool.

My job is global in scope and I get to work in really interesting aerospace, defense, biomedical, and space exploration projects. I have access to physicists, generals, military and rocket test ranges, night vision labs, all of NASA, drone technologies, robotics for undersea exploration, agriculture and AI applications. There's no "job description" this fits into and I sort of carved out a niche for myself where only a handful of people, even within my own organization, know what I do. Now that I'm retirement age, they are begging me not to fully retire and to stay on and guide training of someone and make the passing of the torch, so to speak, when I'm ready.


So you are making Memes...

I just met someone who is an "evangelist" for a cybersecurity firm. She is basically their mouthpiece at events, conferences, etc. She gets wined and dined all over the world.

Seems like a pretty sweet deal.

Jobs with the U.S. Foresty & Parks Dept. are good outdoors type jobs, if you want, you are able to work at various National Parks & Forests around the country. Not super pay but not bad & you do get to "mingle" with young tourists ladies. There used to be one company that had the contract for all the stores in the National parks, grocery, lodging, etc.
