In summary, the career with the highest income to working-hour ratio is being a Google AdSense Whore, with a potential hourly income of $1 million. Other potential careers with high ratios include starting a business and being a professional athlete, such as an astronaut or football player.

I was thinking "astronaut", as one can be paid many years of salary for only a few days in space, but it may be "professional football player".

Google AdSense Whore. Once the web pages are up and running the income/time ratio is infinity. Then again, as this is true even for $1 a year I'll assume a top whore "on leave" does 1 hour mainenance a year. $1 000 000 per hour is then easily achievable.
