Last week Bill and Hillary released their tax returns from the years after they moved out of the 1600 Pennsylvania Ave and the numbers were big: Since 2000, the democratic duo have brought in $109 million, some $52 million of which came from President Clinton's numerous speaking engagements. Wow!

Wouldn't it be nice to get paid to talk? The experts say it's possible and it doesn't take ex-presidential status to make a living, or even a second career, from professional speaking.
