"Earn thousands of dollars per week working part-time! No experience necessary!" the job posting title blares.

Skeptical? You should be. Think about it: Why would any legitimate employer offer inexperienced employees a six-figure salary for working just a few hours a week? These offers come with a serious catch -- usually in the form of illegal activity or an initial investment that's never recouped.

That said, there are plenty of perfectly legitimate jobs out there that require little -- if any -- experience or post-secondary education. And they're not all in retail stores and restaurants.
