Signe Brewster Photography

Description:

The youngest of this year’s winners, Signe Brewster raptures in her slacker-friendly business – photography. She has to balance high school, varsity volleyball, running the school newspaper, and everything else associated with being a teenager. So, instead of cramming a regular job into the mix, she operates her own photography business, which she calls “the perfect solution.” She works as little or as much as she wants and makes three times more than her peers for every hour she works. “My business is the best slacker business because maintaining and advertising it is as simple as uploading a few pictures to my website and replying to a few posts on craigslist. It's incredibly fun and easy, and I love it.” Smart slacker, no?
