Always wanted to be rich but didn’t want to actually bother working? What if I told you that there were literally DOZENS of careers in which you could make money with very little effort. You’d probably call me crazy. You’d probably be right, too. I am crazy. I’m crazy for sharing this highly valuable information with all of you instead of taking advantage of it myself.

I digress, though. Let’s begin the analysis of our first highly-coveted career path on the list.

+ Show Spoiler +
Street Pharmacist!
[image loading]
Avg annual income: $40k-$60k

Perhaps you’ve always wanted to be a doctor, giving out medicine and helping people “get better.” But college is too expensive! You can’t afford that! If you fall into that category of broke-ass doctor wannabe, then street pharmacist is the career path for you! Engage in pharmaceutical and recreational drug transactions with paying customers, keep track of inventory, and concoct new medications (often by experimenting with common household products). Knowledge in botany and hydroponics as well as experience with chemistry is recommended.

Now, in case the world of street pharmaceuticals doesn’t interest you, let me introduce another career for your choosing:

+ Show Spoiler +
Data Retrieval Specialist!
[image loading]
Avg annual income: $30k-$40k

Sometimes people just aren’t willing to give up sensitive information when you need them to. All the pleading and crying in the world won’t open their chamber of secrets. In extreme circumstances like this, a data retrieval specialist will often be brought in to retrieve data using any method necessary. With their leather donned and their whips in hand, these agents are ruthless at performing their job to the highest standard. This career is not for the weak of heart. A sociopathic worldview, as well as any experience with leather or a whip is recommended for this job.

After all that, maybe you’re still thinking, “These careers look nice, but they’re just not for me.” Don’t worry. I’ve got you covered. Maybe you don’t want to work in the highly technical-sounding field of data retrieval. Perhaps you’d prefer a more modest job; maybe one that involves people skills. If this is the case, I strongly urge you to consider this last career path as a viable route to your future success:

+ Show Spoiler +
Human Resources Manager!
[image loading]
Avg annual income: $100k - 180k

My favorite career of the three. Strut around town in fancy clothes. Bitch slap people at will. Oversee operations of your employees who work directly under you (and others) and collect a large paycheck at the end of the day based off commissions. Get to personally know your employees and make sure they’re doing their job right. Managing a business may sound tough, but the career of a human resources manager is actually rather easy, especially considering the high income generally associated with this line of work. Experience with taking hard-earned money away from your employees is recommended in this career, as is having large, strong hands.

Some of you, after reading this, will have likely made decisions that will affect the rest of your lives and future careers. Knowing this, I can say that that alone was worth the effort I put into researching and making known these distinct career paths. The ability to change lives is not to be taken for granted, and I hope I have made an impact on your life.

Ha ha ha, I always love your blogs
But this one just made me feel like shit, why am I going to college with all of these viable careers?
Don't underestimate the value of Doing Nothing, of just going along, listening to all the things you can't hear, and not bothering.

Clearly that person has never watched Breaking Bad. I don't know what sources he's citing, but I'd say Breaking Bad is far more reliable.

What if you hired someone to do the slapping for you?

Off-topic: There's no way Hermione's breasts are that big.

On-topic?: Bitch-slapping people at will sounds like a fun job.

lol. ya that article is pretty bullshit, what do you expect from the LA times...

Anyways heres how it works. Let's use weed. You get a "hook up" for lets say 200$/ounce. You sell the ounce in 8ths for a reasonable price, 45$. Depending how fast you sell that, you have made your 200$ into 360$ now.

Cocaine is even more lucrative because of how much you can flip it and make a profit because a gram of coke is like 50$ standard.

If you want to understand how this works, watch this documentary

Ya, I would think out of those three, human resources manager is probably the easiest and most lucrative. However street pharmacist is potentially less dangerous, but harder to actually make a decent living.

That being said, being a data retrieval specialist would allow me to get all the hot babes with leather whips coming into my house for pool parties. I've always wanted to see what Hermione can pull off with a magic wand, she's just so smart and knows lots of spells! You can also feel better about yourself because you aren't actually hurting people in this position, just their wallets!

Epishade, thanks for the advice, but really the decision hasn't gotten much easier. Unless I could potentially save up enough to actually have pool parties.

Overall, I'm rather disappointed in my lack of faith in myself.
