Collecting rent from tenants. Actually, that is what I do now. I don't even do the collecting unless they are very late, I make them mail it in. I pay people to do the fix up and deduct it from taxes. Beats working. Then I have price appreciation which I will cash in on some day. The rent alone is returning me about 20% per year after expenses.

I think you must have had nerves of steel to be buying up real estate back in 2008~2009. Turns out that you made the correct decision.

I'd like to be have a sheep farm. I love sheep. Their cute little faces, their sounds, the adorableness of lambs and how social they are. I'd prefer to sell the wool and cheeses made from their milk.
What am I doing so far to get there? Nothing. I know fuck all about tending to livestock and can't imagine making the investment just to muck it all up. So I'll stick with enterprise apps for now I guess.
-------------------- He (Dionysos) keeps me with all of his other pretty things for I am just another pretty thing in a long list of acquisitions. Yes! And their brains are releasing adrenaline, dopamine, even dimethyltryptamine from the pineal gland! This has serious educational value! Thanatophobia and this N.D.E. is giving us euphoric altered awareness! Don't you see, Princess? We were all born to die! – Finn the Human Pay me what you owe me. Don't act like you forgot. BBHMM.

sure sheep are cute but when it comes time to slaughter them, you are going to cry your eyes out.

Pay no attention to zappa, he is a jealous troll. He hates trump because he made a ton of money in real estate and the closest zappa came to it was buying a bag of top soil. He spilled half of it. I'm self made, zap had a big hand up from mom and dad.
Most of the waitresses I've talked to say they would like to do something else.

Up here in Canada, waitresses and servers make 9.5 dollars (I think). If not that then at least 9 dollars. This is just their base pay, it doesnt include the tips that they make.

I am a valet with a BA in psych and TESOL certification. I could jump on a plane and teach English in Asia for few years, which was my dream job, but I'd rather find something I can settle down with. TL;DR I have no idea.
I am seriously looking through a list of 1,500 jobs seeing what looks interesting. That's where I'm at.
