What are the most profitable financial occupations that can be done online?
The only thing I can think of is day to day trading and independent investing. Are there other careers that I missed?

You can fool around with fixed income through lendingclub or prosper. I wouldn't call it an "occupation" per se, and I certainly wouldn't day trade- shit's garbage. Going to the casino and letting it ride on the roulette wheel would be a better use of your time and money than that shit imo
My friend told me it's extremely risky. He made 6 loans before realizing it would be a disaster. He only had two loans to pay back in full. 2 others got their loan discharged in bankruptcy a few months after getting his money; 2 others stopped paying and as a micro-lender, you don't have any ability to pursue them. Overall he lost $25-$50 and it was a small price to pay for the lesson of don't do it.
I know some ppl here formed a CDO of sorts through it, and it did pretty well. Perhaps your friend just didn't diversify well. Regardless, I wouldn't fuck with it either, lol. Probably b4 the stock market though, but again this is all imo.
We outsource so IT strategy stuff to people who work at home. Tangential to finance but pays alright I think.
Maybe occupation is not the right word. Maybe replacing it with a word that means the 'profit through activity' would be more accurate; except I can't find a word like that.
Thanks for the suggestion though.
I think the word your looking for is 'hustle'
I hear porn is starting to gain traction online. Could be the wave of the future.
If only I had the right package.
