An internet business run from home.
Porn star.
Teacher is a bad idea…when you care about the kids its depressing because they will usually disappoint…thats how my math teacher feels lol.
Fire fighters are the best…they only work 10 days/month.
Next in line is owning your own gym. I get to work out any time I like.

What types of businesses are easy to own and run?

No business is easy to own and run…if you want to make money that is. Unless you’re an oil tycoon, no business is cake walk. There’s always threatening competition, changing legal/economic climate, and the good ol’ IRS to deal with on a constant basis.
All of these get rich quick and “have fun making millions from your own living room” scams are a joke. You can make great money owning your own business, but it is very very rarely “easy”.

8-5 jobs generally kick ass. I imagine teaching is pretty good, too.
Not great, actually. There is a lot of take home work with teaching and it is very draining. My wife teaches and has worked out regularly for years, but struggles to get to the gym as often as she would like.[/quote]
There is a lot of take-home work, but I found that it’s not strenuous at all. Most of the time I’m sitting on the couch, clipboard in hand, planning lessons or marking tests, while sucking back protein shakes and making a meal every couple of hours (which takes about 10-15min).
The 2 months off in the summer is THE ideal bulk time. Full-pay, a few hours of prep work a day, and just eating and relaxing all day. But from a professional standpoint, I spent most, if not all of my summer in some kind of 8-5 routine doing lesson plans and designing tests, specifically for IB kids to fail. (not all teachers are lazy :P)
Although I think the ideal job for gains would be the military, for the various reasons stated above.

Lol…my thoughts exactly (this is what I was getting at). I do not know how anyone would think owning a business is easy. Everyone thinks owning a business is a dream, but I do not understand why.

Be a chiropractor in a small town and have your own gym in the back of your office.
How would being a police officer work out do you think? Or a pharmacist. I’ve narrowed my career choices down to those two if I don’t decide to join the military and attempt to work for a private contractor slightly there after.

Apparently people have been to too many multilevel marketing scam seminars. 8) I miss Tom Vu!! At least he had the right idea, call your shots from a boat full of big boob babes. Now, that my friends is the American dream.

I actually know several powerlifters in IT, a little weird. Rebelling against the geek haha.[/quote]
I’m a developer too.
Mostly sitting on ass all day, but I get up a lot and manage to get to the gym before I come in and at lunch time.
It helps that my comrades are active (a triathelete, a runner, a rugby player, etc.).
What’s really cool is that my boss is, at age 50, a long time competitive powerlifter.
When we say “I’m going to the gym”, he understands…
I’m going to say firefighters as well. Got a couple of friends that are firefighters and they always rub in how much time they have to train. They’ve all got gyms kitchens and beds in their stations so it’s pretty ideal.

I work in a dead area, couple of calls a week. I work one 24 hour shift and one 16 hour shift and I’m done for the week. Of my 24 shift I have to “work” about 5 hours and the rest of the time is mine unless we get a call. I can prep food in the kitchen or grab a nap.
Best job for a student or someone who wants to train a lot. The downside is guys that don’t train and eat all the time look like shit in less than 5 years on the job.
Running a gay phone sex line. That would be pretty easy once you get past the talking dirty to men part.

“Yeah, yeah, I’m lickin’ your balls, best balls I ever had. Uh-huh, you’ve got King-Kong balls. Your balls are so large, just big balls, I don’t care. You just got big balls.”
I hope I have some good and efficient training years ahead of me, I’m going to be a physician. Family physician that is, I don’t want to sacrifice training years becoming a specialist, haha. I’d rather be deadlifting 500 and cleaning 250 by then. I’d started bodybuilding in the middle of med course, since then, I can’t think of anything else than my training…
Right now I work at the hospital, but that’s not the kind of place it’d eat every 2 hours with all the C Difficile arround, and the rest clostridum family as well…
Medevac your avatar is funny
I can tell you one that is not conducive- running printing presses it kicks my ass 5-6 days a week, and its my business, which isn’t always as cracked up as some might think, especially w/deadlines to meet.
I try to eat all day but constant moving 10hrs a day just doesn’t cut it, plus if i start feeling heavy and full from food it doesn’t sit well w/all of the moving i do.
anything to do with scientific research does not seem conducive to training unless of course you deal with something very related such as sports nutrition
you spend 10+ hours in the lab every day (with no guarantee of meaningful reward or success ever in your work), spend more time when you come home and the pay is a joke for the time investment required
in other words avoid grad school like the plague

Tom Vu is now my hero.
Teaching depends on subject matter and if one coaches. I’m a PE/health teacher and grades go in every 2 weeks. I have very few instances of actual grading aside from their 2 food journals due in the year and the half dozen tests I give them.
Contract time is from 7:10am-2:40pm which makes training nice.
The only time it gets really hectic is if you’re coaching multiple sports. Case being during soccer season when I have guys and girls and then I don’t get off work until 5:30.
