If there’s one thing that all people have in common, it’s that most of us wish we were making more money. Maybe you feel that way, but think, “Is there a way to do that without going to school to become a doctor, lawyer, or business executive?” The good news is that maybe you’re just not looking in the right places. There are jobs out there that pay a lot of money, often without a ton of schooling required, but you may have to go off the beaten path to find them. In fact, some of them are downright weird. We’ve collected posts from around the web about unusual, quirky, or offbeat jobs that pay good money. Check out our list and see if it inspires you to make a career change.

This person shared that they “make teeth on the computer” and work remotely. Are you good at 3D modeling? Do you have the software skills necessary to design and edit things in 3D space? And, most importantly, would you be okay with the idea of looking at CGI teeth all day long?
If you answered yes to all these questions, you could have a lucrative career doing modeling for dentists. You can work remotely, it doesn’t seem too strenuous, and most importantly, I bet it encourages you to take care of your teeth so that you can avoid having to someday use the things that you model.

#3: Drinkers Wanter

If you love beer and have ever thought about getting into drinking beer professionally, this could be the job for you—although I have to admit that I’m a little worried about the state of your liver after working at this job for a long time.
I feel like this job could go one or two ways: either it confirms your deep and abiding love of Heineken, or you get really sick of tasting beer all day every day, and you eventually give up drinking entirely when you’re not at work. Which is maybe not a bad thing. Either way, I’m on the fence on this one.

#4: Taste Master

#1: Terrific Teeth, #3: Drinkers Wanter, #4: Taste Master, #6: Pet Problem, #7: Stay Focused, #9: A Sticky Situation, #10: Broadway Baby, #12: Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy, #13: Bathroom Buddies, #15: Cool Cranes, #16: Critter Control, #18: I’m With the Band, #19: Horsing Around, #21: Worms, #22: You Can’t Handle the Truth!, #24: Dog’s Life, #25: Marching to Your Own Drum, #27: Take It Out for a Spin, #28: Take That Back, #30: It’s Electrifying, #31: Come Fly With Me, #33: The Wheels on the Bus, #34: Don’t Ditch This Job, #36: Digging Deep, #37: If Mario Can Do It, So Can You, #39: Diving for Golf Balls, #40: Technically Speaking, #42: Awesome Autopsies, #43: In It for the Long Haul, #45: Truckin’

This next job is one that I would be fascinated to learn more about. Every time I eat something that’s artificially flavored, I always wonder how they do it. How do they know exactly what things to mix together to make this candy taste like watermelon or this soda taste like bacon?
If you’re curious about this too, why not make a career of it? Not only do you make good money, but I bet your grocery bill goes down because when you’re at work, I assume you’re constantly having to taste the things you work on. Sounds like a win-win situation.

#6: Pet Problem

#1: Terrific Teeth, #3: Drinkers Wanter, #4: Taste Master, #6: Pet Problem, #7: Stay Focused, #9: A Sticky Situation, #10: Broadway Baby, #12: Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy, #13: Bathroom Buddies, #15: Cool Cranes, #16: Critter Control, #18: I’m With the Band, #19: Horsing Around, #21: Worms, #22: You Can’t Handle the Truth!, #24: Dog’s Life, #25: Marching to Your Own Drum, #27: Take It Out for a Spin, #28: Take That Back, #30: It’s Electrifying, #31: Come Fly With Me, #33: The Wheels on the Bus, #34: Don’t Ditch This Job, #36: Digging Deep, #37: If Mario Can Do It, So Can You, #39: Diving for Golf Balls, #40: Technically Speaking, #42: Awesome Autopsies, #43: In It for the Long Haul, #45: Truckin’

Have you ever wondered how pet food companies know if their products taste any good? To be honest, this next job brings up an interesting problem that I have never thought about before. Most companies that sell food have taste testers to give them feedback on new products. But what if the target audience for your product can’t speak to tell you what they think?
This is the problem that pet food companies run into. So what’s the solution? Have humans taste it for you. Have you ever looked at a pet food commercial and thought, “That seems delicious”? Then this might be the job for you.

#7: Stay Focused

#1: Terrific Teeth, #3: Drinkers Wanter, #4: Taste Master, #6: Pet Problem, #7: Stay Focused, #9: A Sticky Situation, #10: Broadway Baby, #12: Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy, #13: Bathroom Buddies, #15: Cool Cranes, #16: Critter Control, #18: I’m With the Band, #19: Horsing Around, #21: Worms, #22: You Can’t Handle the Truth!, #24: Dog’s Life, #25: Marching to Your Own Drum, #27: Take It Out for a Spin, #28: Take That Back, #30: It’s Electrifying, #31: Come Fly With Me, #33: The Wheels on the Bus, #34: Don’t Ditch This Job, #36: Digging Deep, #37: If Mario Can Do It, So Can You, #39: Diving for Golf Balls, #40: Technically Speaking, #42: Awesome Autopsies, #43: In It for the Long Haul, #45: Truckin’

Companies go through many steps and spend a lot of money figuring out how to make a product you’ll want to buy and then convince you to buy it. So why not find a way to get a piece of that money for yourself? That’s what you could do if you became a focus group moderator.
It sounds like a pretty sweet gig, to be honest; just sit around with a group of people and ask them their opinion about something. Everyone loves talking about their opinions, so I bet people are pretty willing to talk when you need them to.

#9: A Sticky Situation

#1: Terrific Teeth, #3: Drinkers Wanter, #4: Taste Master, #6: Pet Problem, #7: Stay Focused, #9: A Sticky Situation, #10: Broadway Baby, #12: Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy, #13: Bathroom Buddies, #15: Cool Cranes, #16: Critter Control, #18: I’m With the Band, #19: Horsing Around, #21: Worms, #22: You Can’t Handle the Truth!, #24: Dog’s Life, #25: Marching to Your Own Drum, #27: Take It Out for a Spin, #28: Take That Back, #30: It’s Electrifying, #31: Come Fly With Me, #33: The Wheels on the Bus, #34: Don’t Ditch This Job, #36: Digging Deep, #37: If Mario Can Do It, So Can You, #39: Diving for Golf Balls, #40: Technically Speaking, #42: Awesome Autopsies, #43: In It for the Long Haul, #45: Truckin’

Do you want a job that pays great and requires no education and very little skill—just a willingness to do repetitive physical work and a high tolerance for getting covered with sap? I think very few people would give up on something like that! Then you may want to take a page from this person’s book.
As great as this sounds, I don’t know if I would love being sticky all the time; I barely ever eat syrup for that very reason. However, I think I would love making over $70 an hour. Plus, I would get to feel good about myself, because the work I was doing would help plant trees. Overall, this sounds like a pretty sweet gig.

#10: Broadway Baby

#1: Terrific Teeth, #3: Drinkers Wanter, #4: Taste Master, #6: Pet Problem, #7: Stay Focused, #9: A Sticky Situation, #10: Broadway Baby, #12: Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy, #13: Bathroom Buddies, #15: Cool Cranes, #16: Critter Control, #18: I’m With the Band, #19: Horsing Around, #21: Worms, #22: You Can’t Handle the Truth!, #24: Dog’s Life, #25: Marching to Your Own Drum, #27: Take It Out for a Spin, #28: Take That Back, #30: It’s Electrifying, #31: Come Fly With Me, #33: The Wheels on the Bus, #34: Don’t Ditch This Job, #36: Digging Deep, #37: If Mario Can Do It, So Can You, #39: Diving for Golf Balls, #40: Technically Speaking, #42: Awesome Autopsies, #43: In It for the Long Haul, #45: Truckin’

If you’ve ever gone to a Broadway play or a Broadway touring production, you might be irritated at how expensive the tickets are. But that’s not just the producers being greedy; it takes a surprising amount of people to put on a big production, and paying all of them drives the ticket prices up.
One of the groups of people who need to be paid that you maybe haven’t considered is the musicians. Many major musical productions use live orchestras or bands, rather than prerecorded tracks like many smaller productions do. If you are great at an instrument, that could be a fun job!

#12: Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy

#1: Terrific Teeth, #3: Drinkers Wanter, #4: Taste Master, #6: Pet Problem, #7: Stay Focused, #9: A Sticky Situation, #10: Broadway Baby, #12: Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy, #13: Bathroom Buddies, #15: Cool Cranes, #16: Critter Control, #18: I’m With the Band, #19: Horsing Around, #21: Worms, #22: You Can’t Handle the Truth!, #24: Dog’s Life, #25: Marching to Your Own Drum, #27: Take It Out for a Spin, #28: Take That Back, #30: It’s Electrifying, #31: Come Fly With Me, #33: The Wheels on the Bus, #34: Don’t Ditch This Job, #36: Digging Deep, #37: If Mario Can Do It, So Can You, #39: Diving for Golf Balls, #40: Technically Speaking, #42: Awesome Autopsies, #43: In It for the Long Haul, #45: Truckin’

Some people want their job to be engaging and exciting; others want to know that their work is being recognized or is making a real difference for someone. But for other people, they are perfectly happy with a job where they can just kick back and relax… as long as they get paid for it.
If that sounds like it’s your speed, why not become a boiler operator? There are lots of jobs like this that just require someone to be around and keep an eye on things in the off-chance that things go wrong. In the meantime, you can watch TV, play games, or write a symphony—the possibilities are endless, really.

#13: Bathroom Buddies

#1: Terrific Teeth, #3: Drinkers Wanter, #4: Taste Master, #6: Pet Problem, #7: Stay Focused, #9: A Sticky Situation, #10: Broadway Baby, #12: Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy, #13: Bathroom Buddies, #15: Cool Cranes, #16: Critter Control, #18: I’m With the Band, #19: Horsing Around, #21: Worms, #22: You Can’t Handle the Truth!, #24: Dog’s Life, #25: Marching to Your Own Drum, #27: Take It Out for a Spin, #28: Take That Back, #30: It’s Electrifying, #31: Come Fly With Me, #33: The Wheels on the Bus, #34: Don’t Ditch This Job, #36: Digging Deep, #37: If Mario Can Do It, So Can You, #39: Diving for Golf Balls, #40: Technically Speaking, #42: Awesome Autopsies, #43: In It for the Long Haul, #45: Truckin’

Confession time: I’m not a very classy person. I have probably only been to places with bathroom attendants two or three times in my life. And honestly, I’m happy to keep it that way. I don’t want to pay some person to hand me a paper towel when I am perfectly capable of getting it myself.
I never thought about being on the other side, though. That seems like a pretty great gig if you can get it; the work is rather easy, and every now and then, you probably get someone who tips crazy well. You just have to be okay with spending all your waking hours in a bathroom. It’s probably worth the pay.

#15: Cool Cranes

#1: Terrific Teeth, #3: Drinkers Wanter, #4: Taste Master, #6: Pet Problem, #7: Stay Focused, #9: A Sticky Situation, #10: Broadway Baby, #12: Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy, #13: Bathroom Buddies, #15: Cool Cranes, #16: Critter Control, #18: I’m With the Band, #19: Horsing Around, #21: Worms, #22: You Can’t Handle the Truth!, #24: Dog’s Life, #25: Marching to Your Own Drum, #27: Take It Out for a Spin, #28: Take That Back, #30: It’s Electrifying, #31: Come Fly With Me, #33: The Wheels on the Bus, #34: Don’t Ditch This Job, #36: Digging Deep, #37: If Mario Can Do It, So Can You, #39: Diving for Golf Balls, #40: Technically Speaking, #42: Awesome Autopsies, #43: In It for the Long Haul, #45: Truckin’

Look, I’m not going to say that college isn’t important, but we can all agree that college isn’t for everyone. If going to college isn’t right for you, you might consider going into a trade. These jobs are always needed, and because of that, they often pay well. The problem is that some of them can be hard on the body, as they are such physical work.
The ideal, then, would be a trade job that doesn’t knacker your body. Why not operate one of those massive cranes at a building site, then? It may require inspecting and maintaining your crane, but other than that, it’s a lot of time sitting in a comfy cab, watching the money roll in.

#16: Critter Control

#1: Terrific Teeth, #3: Drinkers Wanter, #4: Taste Master, #6: Pet Problem, #7: Stay Focused, #9: A Sticky Situation, #10: Broadway Baby, #12: Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy, #13: Bathroom Buddies, #15: Cool Cranes, #16: Critter Control, #18: I’m With the Band, #19: Horsing Around, #21: Worms, #22: You Can’t Handle the Truth!, #24: Dog’s Life, #25: Marching to Your Own Drum, #27: Take It Out for a Spin, #28: Take That Back, #30: It’s Electrifying, #31: Come Fly With Me, #33: The Wheels on the Bus, #34: Don’t Ditch This Job, #36: Digging Deep, #37: If Mario Can Do It, So Can You, #39: Diving for Golf Balls, #40: Technically Speaking, #42: Awesome Autopsies, #43: In It for the Long Haul, #45: Truckin’

It’s a sad fact of life that humans and nature can’t always occupy the same space. Dangerous animals might hurt people nearby; animals may find themselves in places where they interfere with important functions, like cars driving or planes taking off.
So there will always be a need for people doing jobs where they take care of things like that. If you wouldn’t be frightened of relocating an alligator, or if you have a knack for shooing away deer out of places where they shouldn’t be, this could be the job for you.

#18: I’m With the Band

#1: Terrific Teeth, #3: Drinkers Wanter, #4: Taste Master, #6: Pet Problem, #7: Stay Focused, #9: A Sticky Situation, #10: Broadway Baby, #12: Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy, #13: Bathroom Buddies, #15: Cool Cranes, #16: Critter Control, #18: I’m With the Band, #19: Horsing Around, #21: Worms, #22: You Can’t Handle the Truth!, #24: Dog’s Life, #25: Marching to Your Own Drum, #27: Take It Out for a Spin, #28: Take That Back, #30: It’s Electrifying, #31: Come Fly With Me, #33: The Wheels on the Bus, #34: Don’t Ditch This Job, #36: Digging Deep, #37: If Mario Can Do It, So Can You, #39: Diving for Golf Balls, #40: Technically Speaking, #42: Awesome Autopsies, #43: In It for the Long Haul, #45: Truckin’

Here’s a job I think I would really enjoy. There seem to be many perks to being a roadie—someone who does the setting up and the hauling things around when a musician goes on tour—the main one being you’d get to travel to a lot of different places and be constantly surrounded by music, which would be cool.
The problem is that I assume you have to be pretty strong so that you can carry all that equipment around, and I can’t imagine that I fall under this category. However, if you, unlike me, can lift something heavier than a loaf of bread, this sounds like it would be a pretty sweet job.

#19: Horsing Around

#1: Terrific Teeth, #3: Drinkers Wanter, #4: Taste Master, #6: Pet Problem, #7: Stay Focused, #9: A Sticky Situation, #10: Broadway Baby, #12: Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy, #13: Bathroom Buddies, #15: Cool Cranes, #16: Critter Control, #18: I’m With the Band, #19: Horsing Around, #21: Worms, #22: You Can’t Handle the Truth!, #24: Dog’s Life, #25: Marching to Your Own Drum, #27: Take It Out for a Spin, #28: Take That Back, #30: It’s Electrifying, #31: Come Fly With Me, #33: The Wheels on the Bus, #34: Don’t Ditch This Job, #36: Digging Deep, #37: If Mario Can Do It, So Can You, #39: Diving for Golf Balls, #40: Technically Speaking, #42: Awesome Autopsies, #43: In It for the Long Haul, #45: Truckin’

Like many girls, I went through a horse obsession phase when I was about 12. I had never ridden a horse, but I was absolutely certain that if I ever got the chance, I would be a beautiful and graceful maiden riding through a forest and it would be like the cover of an Enya album.
So this job sounds like my jam—hang out with horses and make sure they look pretty? Sign me up! Of course, I’m a little worried about the “check to make sure they’re not dead” bit—what in the world is going on at horse shows that there’s a chance the horses will die in the night?—but it’s a risk I’m willing to take to live out my 12-year-old dreams.

#21: Worms

#1: Terrific Teeth, #3: Drinkers Wanter, #4: Taste Master, #6: Pet Problem, #7: Stay Focused, #9: A Sticky Situation, #10: Broadway Baby, #12: Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy, #13: Bathroom Buddies, #15: Cool Cranes, #16: Critter Control, #18: I’m With the Band, #19: Horsing Around, #21: Worms, #22: You Can’t Handle the Truth!, #24: Dog’s Life, #25: Marching to Your Own Drum, #27: Take It Out for a Spin, #28: Take That Back, #30: It’s Electrifying, #31: Come Fly With Me, #33: The Wheels on the Bus, #34: Don’t Ditch This Job, #36: Digging Deep, #37: If Mario Can Do It, So Can You, #39: Diving for Golf Balls, #40: Technically Speaking, #42: Awesome Autopsies, #43: In It for the Long Haul, #45: Truckin’

Are you wondering what a compost worm is? Me too. So, for both our sakes, I Googled it and found that if you use worms to compost things like food waste, you get a nutrient-rich compost without the whole process smelling too bad, as compost piles can sometimes do.
And where is an environmentally conscious person supposed to get these worms? From this guy, of course, or from you if you decide this is a job that you want. I have no idea what it takes to raise worms, but apparently, there’s a lot of demand for your work!

#22: You Can’t Handle the Truth!

#1: Terrific Teeth, #3: Drinkers Wanter, #4: Taste Master, #6: Pet Problem, #7: Stay Focused, #9: A Sticky Situation, #10: Broadway Baby, #12: Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy, #13: Bathroom Buddies, #15: Cool Cranes, #16: Critter Control, #18: I’m With the Band, #19: Horsing Around, #21: Worms, #22: You Can’t Handle the Truth!, #24: Dog’s Life, #25: Marching to Your Own Drum, #27: Take It Out for a Spin, #28: Take That Back, #30: It’s Electrifying, #31: Come Fly With Me, #33: The Wheels on the Bus, #34: Don’t Ditch This Job, #36: Digging Deep, #37: If Mario Can Do It, So Can You, #39: Diving for Golf Balls, #40: Technically Speaking, #42: Awesome Autopsies, #43: In It for the Long Haul, #45: Truckin’

Movies and TV shows would have us believe that the hotshot lawyer is a one-man band: he takes the case, figures out his arguments, and wows them in the courtroom with an impassioned speech. In actuality, there are a lot more people involved in this legal process.
This may include a legal researcher who helps look for prior case law that could support the lawyer’s argument. Of course, this isn’t for everyone; you do have to have an understanding of the law so you know what you’re looking for. But if you like spending your time with your nose stuck in a book, this could be a lucrative way to do it!

#24: Dog’s Life

#1: Terrific Teeth, #3: Drinkers Wanter, #4: Taste Master, #6: Pet Problem, #7: Stay Focused, #9: A Sticky Situation, #10: Broadway Baby, #12: Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy, #13: Bathroom Buddies, #15: Cool Cranes, #16: Critter Control, #18: I’m With the Band, #19: Horsing Around, #21: Worms, #22: You Can’t Handle the Truth!, #24: Dog’s Life, #25: Marching to Your Own Drum, #27: Take It Out for a Spin, #28: Take That Back, #30: It’s Electrifying, #31: Come Fly With Me, #33: The Wheels on the Bus, #34: Don’t Ditch This Job, #36: Digging Deep, #37: If Mario Can Do It, So Can You, #39: Diving for Golf Balls, #40: Technically Speaking, #42: Awesome Autopsies, #43: In It for the Long Haul, #45: Truckin’

This next one is a job that has been around for a long time but wasn’t always as big a deal as it is today. I remember hearing about professional dog walkers in movies and TV when I was a kid, but it was always kind of a joke—it clearly wasn’t meant to be considered a real, full-time or well-paying job.
But there’s been a shift in recent years where people are willing to spend a lot more money on their pets, it seems like. You’re not going to become a millionaire walking dogs, but if you get the right clients, you can make pretty decent money. And if you like being around dogs – you’ll also have a great time.

#25: Marching to Your Own Drum

#1: Terrific Teeth, #3: Drinkers Wanter, #4: Taste Master, #6: Pet Problem, #7: Stay Focused, #9: A Sticky Situation, #10: Broadway Baby, #12: Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy, #13: Bathroom Buddies, #15: Cool Cranes, #16: Critter Control, #18: I’m With the Band, #19: Horsing Around, #21: Worms, #22: You Can’t Handle the Truth!, #24: Dog’s Life, #25: Marching to Your Own Drum, #27: Take It Out for a Spin, #28: Take That Back, #30: It’s Electrifying, #31: Come Fly With Me, #33: The Wheels on the Bus, #34: Don’t Ditch This Job, #36: Digging Deep, #37: If Mario Can Do It, So Can You, #39: Diving for Golf Balls, #40: Technically Speaking, #42: Awesome Autopsies, #43: In It for the Long Haul, #45: Truckin’

Much to the disappointment of many a starry-eyed hopeful, unfortunately the number of people who make it big and earn a ton of money as a musician is pretty small. But you can make enough to live on even if you never become a superstar.
For example, you could get paid to play in an orchestra. In that case, choose your instrument carefully; according to this person, you could make a lot more money playing timpani than you could on another percussion instrument. Snare might be more flashy, but the timpani is more lucrative.

#27: Take It Out for a Spin

Now, here is a job I think many of us would love to have. If you’re working for crazy rich people, you can charge a lot of money and they will pay. On top of that, how much fun would it be to be paid for driving incredibly expensive cars around? I can think of people who will enjoy that.
On the other hand, I guess it could be a lot of responsibility to drive a luxury car that costs hundreds of thousands of dollars; what if you get in an accident? What if someone scratches it while it’s in your care? It would probably be a billion dollars to fix. Never mind, I don’t want this job anymore.

#28: Take That Back

If you’ve ever had a car or something else repossessed because you missed payments on it, you can at least take comfort in the fact that it happens to rich people, too; and it happens with planes and yachts, too. Clearly, there wouldn’t need to be companies that do luxury repos unless rich people fall behind on their payments sometimes.
I bet being one of these luxury repo people comes with a lot of interesting stories, but I also agree with the person in this post that it could be dangerous if someone had a serious security system. I’m picturing a pack of guard dogs and an ex-mercenary named Claude.

There are a lot of things in life that you don’t really notice until you lose them. For example, I bet you never think much about how electricity gets to your house—until suddenly you don’t have any. Then suddenly, power companies, power lines, and the people who maintain them become extremely important to you.
Because of how important that is, utility lineman—people who maintain power lines—get paid very good money. Electricity is very important, after all. In certain areas, and especially if you’re willing to work overtime, it is very easy to make six figures.

#31: Come Fly With Me

It’s kind of amazing when you think about how complicated it is to keep air traffic moving. You don’t just need pilots and flight attendants; you need gate agents and baggage handlers and air traffic controllers and airline dispatchers as well, and all sorts of people and jobs that most of us aren’t aware of.
So, if you’re interested in aviation but don’t think that becoming a pilot or flight attendant is right for you, you could look at one of these other jobs instead. Being a dispatcher apparently pays great money, plus many airlines allow their employees to fly with them for cheap.

#33: The Wheels on the Bus

Here’s another entry in our list of jobs that you probably don’t think about very much but that a city or society cannot really function without. Can you imagine if all the public transportation drivers suddenly disappeared? How would anyone get anywhere?
Now, not everywhere pays the same; near me, bus drivers make okay money but nothing to write home about. But apparently, if you go to Boston, you can make a whole lot of money. You can also get great cannolis and lobster rolls in Boston, if that helps make up your mind.

#34: Don’t Ditch This Job

Sometimes, the jobs that make the best money are the ones that sound like they would make the worst, right? I’ve often heard people use ditch digging as an example of menial, low-pay work. And I imagine that in a lot of cases, it might be.
But apparently, if you learn a specific skill with the right equipment, you can make enough money to buy yourself some sweet stuff. Plus, if you do what the guy in this post does, then every time someone asks you what you do for living, you can say, “Oh, it’s really boring,” and then laugh obnoxiously at your own private joke.

#36: Digging Deep

I’m going to be honest with you guys: I have no idea how coal mining works these days. When I think of coal mining, I think about my Cornish ancestors toiling away underground and about that book I read when I was a kid about a town that was haunted by the ghosts of miners who died in a mine collapse.
So I can’t really comment on what it would be like to drive machinery in a coal mine for a living; I would just hope it doesn’t involve any ghosts. What I can comment on is how terrific it would be to make $170,000 a month, even if those are Australian dollars and the conversion rate is not in my favor.

#37: If Mario Can Do It, So Can You

Do you think you could be a plumber? I know that they can make good money, and on an intellectual level, I like that idea. I also like the idea of taking inspiration for my professional life from Mario and Luigi. Now that I think about it, this job is very underrated.
But as well-paying and convenient as it can be, I just personally don’t think I would thrive in a setting where I had to deal with other people’s sewage. I bet a lot of people feel the same way. So if you are someone who’s decided you can put up with it, you can charge a lot of money.

#39: Diving for Golf Balls

Maybe you read the entry about underwater welding and thought, “I’m willing to do the diving, but I’m not interested in the welding.” If that describes you, may I suggest this next job? Not only is it possible to make great money, but you get to travel around to a lot of beautiful country clubs.
Of course, you’ll spend more time in murky ponds than looking at the beautiful surroundings. Yep, a lot of these balls end up inside ponds. But you’ll know in your heart that you’re in a beautiful, luxurious setting.

#40: Technically Speaking

I can personally attest to this next one, having done some technical writing in my day. People think you don’t make a lot of money with English degrees, because most people who study English want to write novels or analyze other people’s novels, and most people never become very successful doing that.
However, technical writing is another possible application of that English degree, and it makes much better money and there’s not nearly as much competition, for one very good reason: it’s extremely boring. But it’s worth it when you see that big paycheck.

$15 an hour might not seem very good; you can make more than that working at McDonald’s and not have to deal with dead bodies all day. But I think this poster must have been earning that a while ago, because these days, you could make up to $70,000 a year as an autopsy tech once you’ve got a lot of experience under your belt.
Of course, whether or not this job is a good fit for you depends entirely on your level of comfort when it comes to dealing with dead bodies. If you are squeamish or easily frightened by horror movies, you might find this a very stressful job.

#43: In It for the Long Haul

Have you ever thought about driving a truck for a living? How much you make can vary a lot, based on your level of experience, the kind of driving you’re doing, the kind of company you’re working for, whether you’re working for a company or you’re a contractor…
But if things line up just right, you could make some great money! Plus, you’d get to spend a lot of time chilling in a comfortable seat and listening to audiobooks while traveling around the country. Sounds like a pretty sweet deal to me.

#45: Truckin’

I can’t speak for every country, but I know that in America, society as we know it would cease to function if all the trucks suddenly disappeared. There is nothing that we have that isn’t delivered via truck.
So, knowing how important truck drivers are, why not make that work for you? Find yourself a great paying delivery job and you could make good money. Plus, you get the smug satisfaction of knowing that everything would fall apart without you.
