I agree, education in today's job market is key, if you don't have a degree you will not get a decent job. I have a B.S. in Industrial technology, but NYC job market isnt the best for that field. I've have looked into moving to a different state (Texas/ Cali/Georgia/ ect). But i wouldn't be making to much more then i am making now.

Don't get me wrong i can live comfortable, i can pay my expenses, have my hobbies, and have a saving working my 9-5. But that is not enough for me. I dont mind continuing my education but i would like to have direction instead of wasting my efforts to obtain a masters in a field which i still wont get a great paying job.

BUT the thing i consider the most. Realistically any 40hr/week job you land chances are you will not make over 100k/yr. Unless you have been with the company for 10+yrs. Even then maybe you will get up to 150k.. But depending how you want to live life and want to provide for your family and what not. That may not be enough.

When i say i want a "alternate income" i dont mean another job, I more lean to investment (business) that has potential to generate in theory unlimited income, or limited to how much work you put into it.

With that being said I can say i am at a mental road block as what direction that income source can be. My intention was to maybe see if anyone would share any Out the box idea, or methods that is worth looking into.
