You could do what i do....Be an Aviation Systems Technician. Basically a fancy word for grease monkey on CF-18 Fighter Jets.
Good money...lots of perks.....okay okay so you have to wear a uniform and do a little marching around once and a while..but..MEH....it's a cool job.

Save up as much money as you can, and when you have enough, start something of your own. Take business management courses/accounting courses and learn as much as you can to maintain a place of your own
2000 Black ZX3
Blacked Out Head & Tail lights - APC Clear Turn Signals - 20% Tint All Round - K&N Filter - Cheap ass fogs that are brighter than my headlights - Clarion DXZ745MP - Jensen XA 4100 amp on Mobile Authority 200w 6x8's - Jensen 340w amp on a 12" Rockford Sub, custom enclosure - KYB GR2 Dampers - SHM Springs @ 1.5" - Brembo Cross Drilled Rotors w/ CVR Ceramic Pads - Silver Gauge Bezel - Focus Central 2-Piece Under Drive Pullies - 17 x 7 Rims by Fast Wheels mounted on 215/40/17's - Wings West W-Typ front lip - Coming Soon: Paint, Component Speakers (Spring 06)
successful and self-employed would be awesome...
but if that's not your thing, and if you have the desire and knack for it...commissioned sales is a decent field. in many industries, the top salespeople and account managers often make more than their managers and even some execs...and average performers still do well. I see it as reasonably safe too...the company can do an easy cost-expense calculation on you based upon how much you sell...i.e. if you make the company money, you are likely going to have a job :)
Car-less for the first time in years...
'01 Twilight Blue ZTS is gone... '90 Eagle Talon TSi AWD - 15psi, 3" cat-back w/Turbo muffler, blah blah....is now gone too 
I say take a month or two off. Enjoy it while you can.
Head to the rigs or the mines for a few months. Make some serious cash then take another month off ;)

I know that's what we're looking for at our office. And yeah, the pay is good... :D

Harvard business school says evaluate the following five areas when considering a new opportunity.
1) The company - are they credible, solid history, have 3rd party recognition etc... 2) Need/Marketplace - is there a need in the marketplace, who is the target market, what trends are evident etc... 3) Product - does the product fill the need, affordable to market etc... 4) Compensation - how well do you get paid, residual income?, how often do you get paid etc... 5) Timing - is the company/product positioned for growth, is there competition, market saturation, personal timing (life) etc... This will give you a good basis for determining a good opportunity. I think the stat is something like 4 of 5 new businesses fail in the first couple years. Carey
