It is a lot harder to do that now considering the lack of CDL drivers out there. Dealing with the DOT is no cakewalk either. They are annoying as shite and it is only a matter of time until they start causing those rednecks to shut down.

Buy a dump truck or a big rig and get to work as an independent contractor


There was a poster on here the other day that said he did this and sold the trucks because he couldn’t get any of the good contracts bc he was a white male.

Move to Louisiana. State is dead last in almost every vital category. You’ll be rich with all those thousands

Appliance repair. Go live on the gulf coast and repair ice makers in condos for $500 a pop.

And needed to start making cash right now but didn’t want to go to work for anybody else, what would you do? Say you have a college degree and credit is okay.



This is actually a great question, and IMO not enough people even attempt to think beyond the box like this.. i wish i had asked this question years ago when i was unemployed, instead of jumping at the first W-2 employee job i was offered.

And i would actually venture to say that while some might feel sorry for the OP since he’s unemployed, i think he’s in better shape than the majority of posters here, hell, most Americans who live paycheck-to-paycheck, because he has a nice little nest egg saved , and has *options*... Good luck bro, i’ll be paying attention to see if anyone has any actual decent ideas or advice.

Had a boss in the mortgage business teach me an invaluable lesson over 10 years ago. I am super inquisitive by nature and was always interesting in testing the limits of our in house guidelines for the mortgage products we offered. I was in his office all the time asking questions and wanting to know about this, that or the other.

I went from a new hire to a nuisance in short order. I was also using him as a crutch and preventing myself from mastering our guidelines on my own much more quickly than just asking him everything.

So he made me bring my guidelines in along with my scenario and prove to him that I researched on my own regarding the subject I was asking about before I could ask my question.

In other words, do your own research before you ask me so YOU can show me you're learning before I help.

I sat in line with a girl I've been taking classes with since January relating to a certification exam we are both took yesterday morning. She's doing it for work. I'm doing it because there are several side hustles I'll use it for to supplement my income for away from the office. I haven't shared my plans with ANYONE else in the class. Simply put none of them showed up, or expressed anything other than an eye-rolling excuse of, "Inhave to do this for work and they're making me take the class," so to me, they don't deserve me telling them about the money that can be made using this certification.

But this little girl is getting it for work but mentioned she has been looking for part time work outside of their company. She's newly divorced, technologically challenged and was wondering if our certification could be used to help accomplish it.

She told me how she'd tried Googling but evidently her skills are limited. So I opened up chapter and verse on exactly what and how. Once we talked, she proved to me she had done the work beforehand and researched to the best of her ability and still had questions.

In short, she'd done her work up front.

In short, you haven't. So I apologize if my creativity or knowledge isn't something I'd prefer to let you use while you stand on my shoulders to make yourself more successful. How about you put in more effort than just making a post on here asking how to make money?

It sure as hell worked for me, and it worked for my classmate. It might just work for you too if you put a little more effort into it.

I would start a YouTube channel traveling to the most crazy spots in the world and give the rest of the world a glimpse into what it is like.

And hope like hell I could get some views to generate revenue and get sponsors.

Would have to be a single man also though
