    Income Ratio
AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on identifying careers with the highest income-to-working-hour ratios. Participants suggest various professions, including astronauts and professional football players, highlighting that astronauts can earn substantial salaries for limited time spent in space. A notable example is Ben Roethlisberger, who reportedly earned $1.69 million per hour in a specific year, though this figure does not account for additional commitments outside of games. The conversation also touches on online income generation, particularly through Google AdSense, where once established, the income can be perceived as infinite relative to the minimal time investment required for maintenance. Overall, the dialogue emphasizes the appeal of high-paying careers that demand less time commitment.

Crime.
 


sitting around doing nothing...0/0 - undefined in this case (i guess you could try l'hospitals rule)
 


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".

Okay, not counting preseason, play-offs, practice, team publicity events, working out, rehab, etc.

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.
