Top ten in what way? Ranked by money? Check your library for back issues of Forbes magazine -- or they may have comparisons online. Or maybe by prestige? Too subjective. I might think the top job would be a writer, but others might think it too precarious -- financially speaking. What you have to understand about the 70's is that the first Boomers were hitting their 30's by the middle of the decade. I was ten years younger than that and had trouble finding *volunteer* work at a library or museum (the two places I was passionate about) because there were so many people glutting the job market. This kept salaries down for entry level people because other people (with experience, of course; no residual bitterness there! ) were willing to work for the same pay -- in order to pay the bills. It was a real scramble for jobs! My mother had been teaching for 25 years by the end of the 70's, had taken every course that could give her a wage increase, and was earning $45k a year. That was a *good* salary! Starting salaries for teachers in the 70's were about $20k, depending on their qualifications. Those with a Master's degree started at $25k. My father was running his own business, repairing audio visual equipment for school boards, and was bringing in about $30k - $40k a year. I started working as a precision assembler in the avionics industry in 1978, for 10k a year. In 1979, I left that and started working as a projectionist at a university for $12k a year. This was about 2/3 what commercial projectionists earned, but we had *huge* benefits -- like free tuition for ourselves and our immediate families. Hope this helps.

Compared to offline businesses, the investment required to start an online business is minimal. A popular way of earning money on the internet is by providing information and services. This can be monetised by advertising or charging a subscription. You can also make money online by selling products on auction websites like eBay or through your own website.
