Most of the people making BIG money didn't get a degree. They went out and just did it!

One of the past CEOs of a major car mfg said that the way to get rich isn't in a book. You have to figure it out yourself.

If you are looking for the most money that a job can pay in some low level entry job, then your logic is all backwards.

Marry a billionaire. If you put two years of effort into it (call it 4000 hours), a billion dollars comes to $250,000/hour.

don't tell Scott Thorsen and Ron Jeremy that. Also. go watch Magic Mike. It's based on early days of Channing Tatum. So dudes don't dance on a pole, but yes they do dance for women in that way (or men, if that floats the boat). If you're attractive, charismatic and can move well - and aren't "ashamed" to be hot.
but I did say, it's not for everyone. don't despair.

Scott Thorsen came close on that with Liberace. But his weakness for the drugs killed that. and then came depression.

Medical degrees? Doubt it, unless they're doing a sociological experiment - or recovering from a nervous breakdown?

If you're just looking for a summer job, wait tables or deliver food. That's what I did throughout college, and the cash was decent without having to work loads of hours. And for the record, I haven't worked minimum wage jobs since graduating... so if that's what would stop you from furthering your education, please do some research and think it through.

Good luck with that.
With those criteria, what you're looking at is something like underwater welding. Yes, you do have to go to school, but we're talking 2 years at a community school as opposited to 12 (4 for undergrad, 4 med, 4-6 for residency).

For 2 years of ed (and no discernable rejection rate, that's not bad. It's not like welding programs are turning down 95% of their applicants and med school is letting everyone in.

Oh btw, what you'd need to do that underwater welders do not do is 1) have a savings fund and 2) rent less porsches when you're not working (e.g. actually save the money).

The ideas so far all all stupid. If you want to make real money with little to no experience and little work, do what I did:

I bought 150 houses with NO MONEY DOWN!!!! The market is literally flooded with real eastate and the time to take action is NOW. Learn how you too can buy big homes and make big deals with LITTLE OR NO MONEY DOWN and then sell them for CASH. Look at me, I now sit by my pool while my 3 super model girfriends wash my Ferraris and all I do is walk to the mailbox and collect my check everyday. No selling, no interacting with people, I just buy and then place tiny classified ads and then sell for a huge profit. Everyone needs shelter right?!

So if you too want to make BIG MONEY in real eastate contact me now because this offer won't last!!!

Edit: I can't believe how much mileage I'm getting from the no money down real estate thing.
