I'm almost 28, and have been unemployed for almost two years now. I have about 530k saved up with about 93% in Stock/ETFs.
I still live with my father, but I want to move out, and maybe one or two states away (some where with a higher capitalization rate than the bay area).
I have a 1 year old DUI, and no useful skills (2 year AA, 4 year drop out), I have interviewed a quite a few places, but the fight to become a government (pensioned + 4 day work week) worker has left me.
I don't want to be computer tech, IT guy, accountant/bookkeeper, salesperson, medical tech, nurse, teacher, engineer, plumber, or electrician.
The only way I can think of making money is owning stocks, renting out real estate, or buying a vacuum truck and pumping people's septic tanks, or getting a job at McDonalds/7-11 and buying a franchise.
What are some alternative ways to make decent money that can often beat the SP500, or some job/business/skill that sounds fun or lucrative?
Basically I need a time sink that can earn me some money, and something to tell my family/friends that I am doing, so they don't think I am just playing computer games and getting high 100% of the time.
It does not have to be glamorous like McDonald's or septic tank pumping, but it has to be something I can do with minimal skills, but it has to be something potentially lucrative.
