I own a finish carpentry business. I do interior trim/decks/screen porches/playsets or just about anything carpentry related.
Times are tough right now though. Work is hard to come by around here for anyone in the construction trade.

I'm all over the place. I write, I translate, I bonus-hustle and I bet. Will soon expand into the manufacturing industry - electric guitars.

run my own small telco. running your own business is the HARDEST THING A HUMAN BEING CAN DO!

nothing compares to this, going to school - ha what joke. working in corporation , ha.

but nothing is more gratifying when you succeed and your idea is proven to be accurate.

Taking advantage of sportsbook and casino bonuses. It has gotten a lot less lucrative since the last 1.5-2 years, especially in North America, but anyone can still make a good bit of money with a mere $1k starting bankroll and some free time.

I am a custom fence and deck contractor. Also do commercial hole digging for other contractors. Happened to be the best year for me in the last 12 years. I have been doing it a long time and have developed a good name for myself.
You must be dedicated. You must know your competition as if it were so easy, every one would do it.

Honesty prevails. Wish all of you the best of things to come.

to own a business takes a nice size bankroll to get started. I starting planning for going on my own years ago buying all tools I would need and so forth. And now I have to pay all kinds of insurance/ licenses/taxes to be legit.
now I'm paying for all this shit and dont have any work.

I own a carpet cleaning service been in business for 13 years, but its been a 2nd job for about 10 of that I needed the benefits you get form a "day" job( actually work swing swift) most of my work is either repeat business or word of mouth from my customers, I have not advertised or looked for new business in several years.Starting out in a new business venture is hard make sure you have at least 6 months to a year of operating capital to get started,and build up your business. GL in what ever you choose!!!!!!

At 22, your best bet is to get a college degree or learn a trade. You have plenty of time to be an entrepreneur.
