101 Weird Ways to Make Money -- just got the Kindle version on Amazon... « Back to Group Discussions

[Pariah]

The book talks about cricket farming and environmentally friendly burial companies as options for unusual jobs that the author himself has experience with. Has anyone else read it? I'm just starting today. Does anyone have a weird way of making an income themselves?

The book seems like it will at least be entertaining, if not give a few ideas for generating extra income (which will hopefully help us fill up our travel fund!).

Have you found anything usefull in the book?

I hope this isn't too morbid but I always thought it would be cool to have a mortuary service where instead of cremaiting or burrying people they would turn the person into compost and put them in a container with a giant rose bush or some plant the family picks then returning the whole thing to the family to plant whereever...

I had the idea to mix ashes (cremains) into clay, and make a ceramic figure that represented the person. I could imagine a tree or a boat or whatever was important in their live, instead of an urn on the mantle.

I like the compost idea too.
