What if that person got training to become a masseuse? They could make close to $30,000 with flexible hours and a virtual endless supply of potential clients.

What if they became a nurse?

Or maybe they could become powersellers on EBAY:

Next time you’re on eBay, take a look at how many PowerSellers there are, you are sure to find quite a few. Now think about this. Every single one of one of them must be making at least $1,000 per month, because that is the requirement eBay has set for becoming a PowerSeller. Silver PowerSellers make at least $3,000 each month, while Gold Sellers make more than $10,000, and the Platinum level is $25,000. The highest rank you can have is Titanium PowerSeller, and to qualify you must make at least $150,000 in sales every month!

Oh, and if they work at Wal-Mart, they might start at $8 per hour as a part-time employee, but they could get a few raises, go full-time, get a few promotions and before you know it they might even start saving, buying stock in the company, contribute to their retirement, and enjoy a happy life having worked at Wal-Mart.
