    That's like saying 'I think I'll work at Walmart because the CEO makes a lot'. Most dealers aren't making the minimum wage.

    I recommend the chapter in Freakonomics by Steven Levitt & Stephen J. Dubner entitled 'Why do drug dealers still live with their moms'.

    If you're so smart, then the real money is to be made in consulting, and self-improvement and getting-started type seminars, not in the actual business.

    I think the best money making idea is start your own religion. but the prophets field is too full for a new religion to take off.

    I disagree: there have always been top profits for top prophets, and always will be. From Zarathustra to Greenspan, their personal style and message may change, but not the popularity of telling folks what it all means and what the future holds.

    OK fine, but how does this help me remove Body Thetans?

    As an ordained minister of the Universal Life Church, I'm empowered by God to perform that service, and with my training in the cosmetic chemistry industry I can also recommend preparations that you could directly apply afterwards to those hard to reach areas where they might be lurking. We can discuss terms later if you're interested.

    Oh my they attach themselves there too? I can't decide if that's hot or gross. I'll have to get back to you.
