College is expensive, and with the state of the stock market, those college funds are looking inadequate. What’s a parent to do? In lieu of tuition, perhaps you should consider a one-way bus ticket to Edmonton, Canada. Apparently panhandlers there can make $400/day. That’s a six figure salary, even with weekends and holidays off and a 2-week summer vacation.

I suppose no one wants to say, “my son, the panhandler.” But in some ways, it’s a more honest living than investment banker. At least when you give your money to a panhandler there’s no expectation that you’re going to get it back.
