In order for you to make any money in second life, you have to have a resaleable skill. Generally these fall under the categories of:

1) Image editing
2) 3d modelling/mapping/skinning
3) Simple scripting such as PHP or Javascript (LSL is the drug of choice)
4) Understanding of financial markets and the ability to capitalize on loopholes in regulations for investment purposes (land, currency exchange, running a pyramid scheme, etc)

Or you could simply make a female avatar and whore yourself out, that's what most do.

I'd personally recommend just buying a few L$ until you become accustomed to how the game works. Rule of thumb, if you don't like it in 4 weeks, stop playing.

Not at all. I've been making tons of money by winning at games like Bingo, Pereesi, etc. It's fun AND you make money.

AND ... once you've been in SL for 30 days, you can actually get a job (waiter, dancer, game host, clerk, whatever you want!).

I've learned a lot since my OP.

Real money? No, of course not. This is Second Life we're talking about. It's a game. You know, like on a computer? It's not real. No need for real money.

My inquisitiveness wasn't inappropriate... I've heard stories of WoW "money" being sold for real money on eBay, or the likes.
