You may get the opportunity to work on a specialist small cruise ship that, as part of its itinerary, offers whale watching holidays. You will probably be surprised just how popular whale watching holidays are and you may well discover that the passengers on this type of cruise are a little more affluent and therefore more likely to tip well.

Hairdresser
If you have just come out of college as a qualified hairdresser, how about locating yourself on a beach in an affluent destination, putting up a well-designed sign and offering to cut people's hair? You will be pleasantly surprised to see how many people find what you are doing novel and therefore avail themselves of your service.
