And is easy as fuck with no physical exertion? Like something where I could punch in some numbers on a computer and hit Enter and stare at the screen all day. Or, bonus if it doesnt involve computers. Ya know, like, just stand there. Either or.

Programming. Hell, you don't even have to go to a real school, just go to one of those booty camps.

My wife is a Salesforce administrator and makes 100K/yr. No bachelors, either, she just had experience in the right field and passed her certification.

She spends her days at home on conference calls almost all day and she has to deal with annoying sales people while she fixes their issues with their dashboards showing how much money they are pulling in.

My wife does accounting and it's actually not that bad. I sat over her shoulder on some of her college courses and it's all basic logical shit that you can almost never screw up as long as you're paying attention and communicating with coworkers and shit. Every business uses very similar accounting principles, the big difference is just what software they use and how frequently they run certain processes.

The problem is a lot of companies want "accountants" but then they get stuck doing payroll or managing just one single aspect of accounting.

I'm curious if you live in NY or one of the tech cities. That's good money for a SFDC Admin unless she's really advanced.

Nope, just outside Atlanta. I think her base pay is in the 90K range but she gets bonuses and stuff. She recently referred a young college grad to her company who had very little experience (she worked with him at her previous employer while he was finishing up school) and they started him out at 80K.

Apparently Saleforce is a hot thing to be into. Her company is based out of Europe but has a worldwide reach. She's not super advanced, but she's super professional and knows how to get the right answers. She has lots of experience dealing with C-level executives in her past job. She also has been learning the deveopment side of things, too, and enjoys those projects when they get offered to her.

The company is basically just spam calling people to buy shit. We really don't need more people doing spam calls these days. The company I worked for incorporated sales force into our work flow and everyone pretty much agrees it's a scummy thing to do.

I see. I've used it at large- and medium-sized companies and it's popular because it's easy but most people don't bother to use it nearly to its full capabilities. I'm not sure I understand why it's scummy, though. I get spam a dozen times a week from small companies I've never heard of.

Following because I need to figure out a way to make big boy money. Making $33,000 a year at age 33 isnt really cutting it.

Oh and I also dont want to work more than 40 hours a week (less would honestly be ideal).

Also, exec level positions aren't easy as many people believe. Those positions regularly work over 40 hours per week and deal with high-level projects that are often out of their control (setting up meetings and getting data/replies from other companies) and ultimately are held responsible for things they had little to do with just because of the nature of their role. Just because they look like figure-head positions in the media doesn't mean there isn't a truckload of background work that goes into it.
