My wife and I often joke about "running away" - picking ourselves from our so-called careers, moving someplace warm, and starting all over. It's mostly us being silly - we really don't dislike what we do and we are just not that adventerous.
But, part of the fantasy is figuring out what we would do for a job: Run a beach on a bar? Rent scooters in the desert? What? We often joke that the real trick is to find something that rich people and celebrities don't need, but THINK they need, and will pay big money for. This is crap like "doggy spas." The best example of this I've ever seen was this business that was basically a clothing warehouse. People store clothes there, and keep a catalogue online. If they're travelling, they get online, pick out an outfit, and this joint will overnight it to them. F'ing brilliant. [The only downside is putting up with obnoxious rich people. But soon *we'd* be rich too - so the cost/benefit analysis tells us that it would be worth it.]
So, we've struggled to come up with the perfect business.... Following our visit to the Pompeii exhibit, we've stumbled upon it: Fossilization. That shit is trademarked, so don't steal it, you fuckers.
So, what's the deal? People hate dying and stuff - they'll pay to get frozen and all kinds of crap right? What we'll do is we'll offer to turn your remains into a *fossil* - you can pick our "relics" to be buried with, and then you can help future archeologists understand early 21st century Western life. It's goddamn brilliant.
We just need to develop an artificial fossilization proces.... yes....

Heck, you could go the Alexander the Great route and let people get buried with relics that made them seem more powerful to future archaeologists. "Fossil Enhancement: Because the Future is Too Important to be Left to Your Past."
