Have you considered the fast-paced world of contortionism? I know, you’re saying, “But like how would I keep my iPod in my ears?” Well, I don’t know, but I can tell you contortionists make good money, and they travel economically in overhead compartments on airplanes.
A good contortionism grad school can have you in positions like this one in a year - maybe less, depending on your threshold for pain - and it’s great fun watching students try to eat in the cafeteria.
