For a 'quick fix occupation' English-teaching is the best way to go.  If the
guy has a 'pushy' mother-in-law he could set up his own business, get her to
more-or-less bully mothers into sending their kids to his classroom, and
find himself with a fat back pocket in no time.  I will admit though that
once you sell yourself to the 'English satin's it's very difficult to
reclaim your soul and pursue another line of work.  I'm sure I'll pay for it
in the afterlife - an eternity of correcting high school entrance test
English papers perhaps?
