I recently read about a delicatessen worker who quit his real life job to work full time in Second Life selling anything from furniture to clothing. He went from making a little under $20,000 a year to over $80,000. The possibilities can stretch as far as your imagination. There are several users making real world dollars in this virtual world. Second Life is equipped with its own currency, land tiers (much like rent) and business ethics. It mirrors real-life and claims fame to unbound territory.
It seems silly but the abundance of success here seems to be attributed to what the market wants. It is a different animal. The rules are based loosely on RL values but with a twist. The users of SL have different agendas and needs for things we may consider ridiculous in RL. Either way you slice it, there is money to be made here and I want my cut.
