Looking forward to seeing some interesting jobs I haven't really thought about. Bonus points if it's an IT job.

Dental Hygienist. They make like $40/hour to clean people's teeth. It only requires an associates degree and you can get it from community college (aka cheap).

Dental hygiene is a pretty awful field for most people though - there's a lot of depression and heart problems from having to cause people pain (even if you logically know it's good for them). This is a great option for some people but if you consider yourself empathetic I'd urge some caution.

Some people also don't brush or just have putrid breath

That's actually pretty tempting... I've wondered if I could hack it in dentistry before.
