On this subject, I know a guy who was the manager of a lumber yard in the richy rich SF bay area. He was making pretty good money at his job with good bennies and all that. The last time I saw him he told me that he had quit his job at the lumber yard to become a full time dog walker. He told me he now makes anywhere from two hundred to three hundred and fifty a day and that most of his customers pay in cash, so he gets to keep most of it tax free.
Not too bad for four legged baby sitting.
