Many people who live in economically depressed areas of the country make a living buying stuff and selling it on Ebay.
I haven't had a "job" since 1987, self employed, or building my own house.
Ways I have made money;
Cutting grass
Waxing cars
Harvesting oysters (Chesapeake bay area tributaries)
Paper route
Soda jerk
Bartender
Roofing
Painting
Auto body work
Auto painting
Auto parts sales
Mechanic
Shop owner-operator
Rebuilding total loss cars (200)
Buying low and selling high collectibles.
Welding
In 35 years working I only was unemployed for 3 months.
Not trying to say its possible to make a living in some areas of the country today, but if I had to I would find a way. Self employment has a way of making you adaptable.
Why wait for someone to hire you. Opportunities are there if you are willing to work and learn.
Two of those 30 years I worked over 2000 hours and made less that 1 dollar an hour trying to make my business grow enough to make a living.
One of the reasons I would have bought a less expensive car Jammer was because it would have made capital available to buy and sell stuff.
