1. YouTube Sensation
Two years after YouTube invited members to become "partners" by slapping ads on their videos, the most successful users are earning six-figure incomes and gaining real-world notoriety.
2. Food Scientist
Think you've nailed the next great ice-cream flavor? Or even a cutting-edge chip combination? Well, you're in luck: Employment of food scientists is expected to grow 16% over the next decade, faster than the occupational average.
3. Etsy Mogul
On Etsy, the Web's leading marketplace for crafts and vintage goods, some users have parlayed their pastimes--knitting, sketching, sculpting--into $100,000+ empires.
Bottom Line: Caroline Colom Vasquez expects to reap $250,000 in annual sales from her Etsy shop, which sells ceramic and wood collectibles.
5. Celebrity Ghost Tweeter
Okay, so getting hired to manage a celebrity Twitter account doesn't actually make you a celebrity. But if you're doing your job right, nobody on Twitter will know the difference. (Also, come on, you'll be getting paid to tweet.)
6. Personal Trainer
So much for Fast Food Nation: Employment of athletic trainers is projected to grow 37% over the next decade, much faster than the occupational average.
Bottom Line: You'll be in great shape, even if you're only earning $39,640/year (the national median).
