So what jobs or businesses make good money

Just want to do some really cool experiences, esp traveling more than one holiday in the sun a year

Sell a kidney.
Or double your money and sell both.
You will have some experiences but they won't be 'really cool'.
Oh...it'll fuck up the 'more than one holiday in the sun' idea too.

Lovemusic33 · 12/06/2018 16:38

Sex industry (I can see why people do it).

I have quite a cool job, I would be well off if it was full time, sadly it isn’t.

The new girl on Love Island last night said she was earning more in one night stripping in a club than she earned in a month as (I think) a paralegal assistant in London.
If you have the body and are ok with it that sounds like good money to me.

I have neither the body, the coordination, the confidence nor the ability to stay up late enough.

crunchymint · 12/06/2018 16:40

That is very rare. Most do not make much money

crunchymint · 12/06/2018 16:41

Go on a reality show and make money out of appearances afterwards? Get accepted to appear on gogglebox. Its a nice earner.

HolyShmoly · 12/06/2018 16:42

Bryns do you have to share photos of you in the knickers? How do you find a market for them? I'm fascinated by the whole selling your knickers or socks or shoes thing.

eightfacesofthemoon · 12/06/2018 16:44

Go loco down in Acapulco

BrynsPicasso · 12/06/2018 16:44

LardLizard · 12/06/2018 17:10

ThePlanetGoesOnBeingRound3 · 12/06/2018 17:13

When you say dirty knickers @BrynsPicasso are we talking skid marks and such?
People buy pictures of people in cackied pants? Shock
I have, seemingly, led a sheltered life.

KaliforniaDreamz · 12/06/2018 17:13

Holy I have neither the body, the coordination, the confidence nor the ability to stay up late enough.

lololol

hazell42 · 12/06/2018 17:16

Personally I want to work really really hard for peanuts, Just like everyone else I know

Nofilter · 12/06/2018 17:16

Commit a certain amount of time (for me 15Yrs) where all you do is work.

Then invest the fruits of your labour (BTL Property for me) and slowly but surely work up a portfolio over the years...

Then you can do fun stuff like horses and spend all the time with your DD etc

Still has its down sides TBH - living with no structure is difficult at first - no one to answer to BUT also no one to say whether your doing well or not / nothing tomato your successes against...

Grass not always greener...

Leopoldstotch · 12/06/2018 17:17

What do you do banana if you don't mind me asking ?

LardLizard · 12/06/2018 17:21

I bet strippers do earn a lot
Post dc I don’t have the body for that anymore
And when I did have the body I wouldn’t have had the confidence

Although I think doig. something that could certainly damage people’s self esteem
Not everyone’s but I could see it not making me feel good about myself

BrynsPicasso · 12/06/2018 17:31

I’m older than most here and a bit old fashioned in my thinking having grown up in the 50’s and 60’s, and I’m dismayed that there are so many women here who are resorting to suggesting sex work as a means to make money.

And I thought younger women were feminists and all about equality. Men don’t suggest to other men going into the sex trade if they want to have a change. 'Open up a stable of whores mate’ ‘Sell your dirty underwear’ ‘Sell your dick bro’.

OP Become your own boss. Start your own respectable profitable business. I started my own manufacturing business about 30 yrs ago and it was very lucrative and exciting. I shipped all over the world and so I traveled, became very well known in the field and it was fun - although very stressful at times. The rest of the time it was like a hobby that paid and I was my own boss. (It was nothing to do with make-up or any other girlie shit. I cracked into a traditional men’s arena).

After being on MN for a while now I’m starting to believe many younger women’s idea of equality is making their so-called ‘partner’ get up in the night to take of her baby and to do half the housework.

LardLizard · 12/06/2018 18:37

Yes I think running your own business really is the way forward regarding earnings

OP posts:
LardLizard · 12/06/2018 18:37

Char, don’t you think that’s part of equality Though sharing getting up in the night with the baby and sharing chores

I paid my way through university by selling my used knickers on eBay

ZibbidooZibbidooZibbidoo · 12/06/2018 18:49

flowerpot I’m always intrigued by the people who say they’ve made money selling knickers/old shoes/socks/tights etc.

Did you have to send people photos of you wearing them?

thecatsthecats · 12/06/2018 18:52

My friend is a GoPro experience promoter. He flies around the world doing cool stuff that they use to sell the dream. Not sure what he earns but it looks cool.
