You have a lot of qualifications. You should ask yourself what you want to do. Something in international business sounds right.

You can start your own cleaning service and make all you want, work when you want and go fishing when you want.\n\nIt's a great part time business. I make more working part time at my own cleaning service than I do my day job. Check it out. Besides it may be just the thing for you.

House cleaning. Look in the yellow pages for an idea of rates and then start your own business. It may be wise to take out insurance; this should not cost too much, and then you are ready. You make your own hours, you choose your clients-be selective, there are people that are not willing to pay the going rates, just weed them out. If your smart you can make a lot of money. Business cards of course, perhaps fliers, a professional business name, etc., I think you get the picture. Hope this helps

I need more information about you to help with this. What are your personal interest? Do you live in a highly populated area? What kind of work experience do you have. I will be glad to help if you really want success.\n\nI recently retired from the real estate business in Central Florida after 27 years. For the past two years I have been offering free business mentoring services to young entrepreneurs. I can offer a variety of small business ideas depending on your personal interest and abilities. I will also make myself available for consultations by email or phone. I do not charge for these services.\n\nI must tell you that it is very difficult to get any (legal) business into a positive cash flow position that would be equivalent to a full time job. Most businesses take at least a few months to a year or more to start generating that kind of income. Are you a patient and dedicated person? Can you afford to wait?\n\nIf you want to know more, please feel free to write to Bruce at boatclub@go.com .

You could venture into the home-based business field...you know, PrePaid Legal, Avon, etc.  Or honestly, Ebay is awesome.  My stepdad gets broken computers and fixes them.  He makes a pretty penny doing that.  Or, you could go to yard sales or thirft shops and find things worth MUCH more than the asking price.  Sell them on Ebay.  Or you could buy and sell houses.  I saw an infomercial on TV the other day for something like that.  Really, there are a MILLION and one things you could do.  If I wasn't too helpful, try googling for "home-based business" or "work at home".  You may pull up some things I haven't thought of.  Good luck to you!

Well Chad,your question is right up my alley - I'm a business coach. If that's your pic, you're a young guy, and now is the perfect time to be asking this. 1st, don't JUST stay cause of the money, it will eat your soul alive. And don't just wait till you find, as others have said, "something else"- could be just as bad or worse. Before you leave, take stock of your skills, sales seems to be 1st, invest in yourself, sharpen your abilities with some advanced hi-quality training. Then think about what sorts of things you find fascinating! Then go sell in a related higher$$ field, like real estate, or concert audio/visual equipment, or TV ad sales. A classy salesperson, who keeps learning, can have lots of work choices, & be happy too. (a good business coach couldn't hurt).
