Steve Gillman legally stole cars in the middle of the night while working as a repo-man. He has made money dealing blackjack, renting out rooms in his house, installing restaurant equipment, playing chess, selling mobile homes, assembling muffler brackets, hawking used stuffed animals at flea markets--and the list goes on. Eventually finding his entrepreneurial niche online, he has been writing for years about unusual jobs and businesses.
