Police or fire fighter in the San Francisco Bay Area is a low barrier to entry high salary high status job and not very dangerous.
I think small retail is an even better deal than that. Terribly run stores in SF stay in business and well run ones prosper ridiculously.
Many LW readers are coders who could be Google quality if they worked at it a bit, though the outback might be a good place to get practice without distractions.
PUA enthusiasts can obviously make money selling instruction in Game, and should be able to make money in sales in general.
You mean buying an existing business and running it better or starting a new business entirely? Either way, can 70th percentile instrumental rationalist LW folk realistically raise that kind of capital?
Either and 'yep, if they tried at all'. I'll be happy to talk in some detail with people who are actually serious about doing so.
Almost definitely yes if they are old enough to have very good credit and are willing to take on the capital as a personally guaranteed loan. You typically don't get startup type investments (where you aren't personally responsible for losses) for starting or buying a small business.
