Name: Lauren Elward Pay: $165,500 Age: 33    I was an English teacher, and the copy machine at school was always breaking so I would make copies at home.  I had 125 kids a day. I can't count how many times I was running out to Staples getting more ink cartridges -- and it was all coming out of my pocket.  I looked online and there are companies out there [that recycle cartridges], but it wasn't a flooded market. So [my husband and I] invested about $1,000 and found some inexpensive guy from Europe to make a website for us.

At college, I studied psychology. And that's when I started getting interested in mentalism, which is geared toward mind-reading. Times were rough at first and I had to bust my butt to get jobs, but now I have to turn away business, and I can take off time whenever I want.
