If you want to be your own boss and work relatively flexible hours, you could learn to trade stocks. I can tell you from personal experience that it took me over 3 years of real life and paper trading to become competent and consistently profitable. If you invest the time and effort and get good at it, you may be able to generate enough cash flow to live on.
It does help greatly to already have a job with some cash flow. It' s tough enough to learn to trade to begin with; if you have to worry about making enough each month to pay the phone bill right from the get go it's nearly impossible.
There are many books available to help you get started. A good website is Realmoney.com. Remember, don't even think about starting out with real money. Paper trade and figure out what the hell you're doing first.
