Two thoughts. 1) go for the job that is what it is and that you leave behind when you punch out. Starbucks? Secretary?

2) go for a job where you feel genuine passion: a nonprofit with a cause you love, a job where you make a positive difference in lives.

If you are burned out, you need time to recharge and/or to do something you love.

Home budget consulting. Just made it up, but put yourself out there as the Personal Suzy What's Her Name, and consult with individuals about how to get their most basic financial crap in order.

Be the one to answer: How can I afford private school on my budget?

Someone on here was talking about being a speech pathologist (I think). It sounded like a pretty awesome job. Requires school but is flexible and decent money.


I think an SLP is an awesome job, but it's not the right job for someone who "doesn't want to work". SLP's work hard and do really important things.

The world's oldest profession? Kidding, kidding.

Does anything at all sound appealing to you? Do you have any hobbies that might point you to something? What about dog walking or part-time babysitting if you don't need something that pays really big bucks? Paying for more college when you don't want to work full-time might not be worth it.

I know someone going into medical coding. It's a certification you can get and a lot of the work is from home.

If you have the sales/recruiting chops for it, if you get in on the ground floor of a multi-level marketing scheme and recruit a ton of people under you, you can do pretty well. Doesn't work out for 99% of people but those that get in at the top of the pyramid do well.
