I've compiled a list of things I want to do in the future maybe, seems relevant here

>seasonal firefighter
Fight fires and protect rich peoples' homes in the summers of California. They pay for room and board and then some. Starts $10 an hour, and pays more for riskier positions. Being dropped out of a helicopter in the middle of a fire is $35 an hour iirc

>Volunteer Soldier in Syriac Kurdistan
Get in contact via Skype with the Kurds who are fending off Isis; volunteer to fight; pay $1200 or so for flights there and back but after that you are supplied food, room, board, guns, and Kurdbros. Chance of getting beheaded, though. Other volunteer soldier positions would be the Azov Battalion in Ukraine, which is the only neonazi battalion to be paid for by international Jews

>waiter in upscale restaurant; bartender
You get to dress well and meet well-dressed people. People often underestimate how much you can make in tips

>freelance webdev (MEAN+WP); graphic design; real estate photographer
This gives you maximal freedom and a good amount of dough if you work hard enough. You can cook up websites in hours that'll go for $100. Combine your networking, advertising, and webdev prowess and work for real estate listing companies as a freelance agent

>Lawyer because your pop is a lawyer

I think you misinterpreted my post. I added that just because I find it funny that a neo-nazi battalion is openly funded by Jews (see how the ADL protested a congressional bill BANNING aid to the battalion). I don't support the battalion, and barely support Ukraine in the conflict. Personally I think Russia has the right to secure land that is historically and demographically Russian when the country they agreed to give it to had a coup d'etat

There aren't really any entry level positions in this career field outside of joining the military, or being recruited from a college in the DC area. The main reason is because most places are looking for people with active security clearances and several years of experience. If you go on the agency websites there are some internship opportunities for college students, but you would probably need to be a top performing student, speak a foreign language, and working on some type of STEM degree, or international relations/foreign area studies.

Work in a supermarket.

I have a law degree and have just finished law school here in the UK.

Law is fucking shit for money here, everyone starts on about £12-15,000 pa with no guarantee you will get a training contract (£20-25,000 pa) for 1/2/3/4 years.

Im gonna fuck off to South Korea and teach English, save up £8,000 and travel the greatest country on earth that I have never been to: USA.

Very true. But my degree will put me on the fast track to teaching English anywhere around the world!

I really wish I could turn back time and tell my 18 year old self to study something different.

As it stands I have a big compensation claim soon (£20,000) so I might work out a way to part fund a masters or even another degree in something I want to do. Counselling work would be A.

Church,

I made around 15 euro an hour as a 16 year old pizza delivery boy. Just by being polite (and white). Good job though, popping wheelies, trying to get the knee down in bends on 4 inch tyres, free pizza, dicking about.

Anyway, most of my peers now -nearly 8 years later- are happy to make 10.
