As I mentioned in the OP, I AM playng poker, I'm just looking for something during the day to keep me in a routine/get out of the house.

Give tours at the CNN center. That place is sweet and everyone I saw working there was a hot woman in late 20s early 30s. And we can play 5K HU freezeouts on our lunch break (I work 5 minute walk from there.)

Good idea. Where do you work? I worked at 101 Marietta for a few years.

You should look into Real Estate. You can make your own hours and pull in decent change if you are good. Especially in an area with the growth rate that Atlanta has right now.

One of my friends got her license several months ago, and has yet to sell a house. It seems to be (around here, anyway) one of those "who you know" jobs.

With web/database development skills, why not look into creating a good content site online and raking in adsense bucks?

I've considered this too, but have yet to come up with a good idea for it [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Why? What about the job do you dislike so much? Is it the field in general, or have you just had too many sucky jobs?

I ask just because consulting work in the software industry can be very lucrative and flexible if you manage it well. Find a 3-4 month contract for 60-90/hr. When done, take a month vacation, rinse, repeat.

I've never made anything approaching those numbers, probably a combo of not being good enough, and not knowing the right people. If I could find the situation you describe, I would definitely go for it, it just seems like the demand overall is shrinking for this type of work.


Thanks for all the feedback, it's much appreciated.
