Default Time Travel Game: how would you make money?

The Situation:

You have been whisked back in time to August, 1992. You are 21 years old with the same college degree you have now (or are in the process of getting). You have $500 to your name. But you are exactly the same person on the inside as you are right now.

You take nothing with you but your memory of what happens between August, 1992 and today.

The Challenge:

You have exactly one year to earn one million dollars. After the year is over, you will be sent back to the present day.

How will you make this money?

Sports betting?
inventing something that hasn't been invented yet? (how will you go about this?)
some form of crime?
the stockmarket?
something else?


The Process:

Explain HOW you would make this money in detail...for example, answering "I'd play the stock market" doesn't tell us anything...explain HOW you would make money this way...do you remember what the stock market was doing in 1992? Would studying up on the market in that period jog your memory enough in order to make a killing? Etc.

Rules:

You have only your memory to rely on.
You can't tell anyone you know that you're "from the future and know what's going to happen."

That's it.
