> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by yojimboguy \* > **Hitman.** [hijack] How does one become a “hit” man anyway? Is it one of those jobs where you had to know someone who was on the “inside”? Or could you just roam around around until you found a person likely in need of your services? (I.e., divorce, bad partnership, etc) Not that I’m in the market, but with this economy you can never tell. 😃 ---

Forensic examiner. Not necessarily people who cut open dead bodies but people who look for physical evidences at crime scenes. ---

OTR truck driver. Some make _great_ pay, especially if you’re hauling explosives, toxics or radioactives. Some routes you spend virtually _all day_ alone in the cab. ---
