Unusual Jobs That Pay Well?
    #26490712 - 02/17/20 07:40 PM (3 years, 11 months ago)

What are jobs in your area that are unusual that pay well?

Working high up on the the George Washington Bridge would be crazy, but if you're comfortable with it, you'd get paid well.

I worked on oil rig in Pennsylvania. Made 1200 a week. That was through a temp service.

Unfortunately I only have experience with unusual jobs that don't pay well.

The weirdest job I've had was sitting by photocopiers at various schools and making records about what everyone copied. I never met the people who hired me either.

Being an electrician can be pretty unusual at times and it pays really well, especially if you are good.

Sometimes I think about getting a job driving one of our Subway trains. It pays really well and is probably super easy. I think the trains are pretty much automated and run themselves now. I could just do it on the weekends and sit back and play Nintendo Switch. Once in a while I would announce the stops and remind people not to make poopies on the train seats.

I invented a new job earlier. It is fishing with magnets which is already pretty popular for lakes and streams. My twist would be to magnet fish in the ghetto storm drains and sewers. I would find murder guns, knifes, and other metal contraband to sell to the police or resell on the streets.

rope access technicians can get paid a lot for risky jobs but to get to the cool jobs you need to have a few years of experience

it's a pretty fun job too (if you're not scared of heights :shrug:)

Cleaning out portapoties with the honey wagon can get you like $60/hr if you don't mind breathing through your mouth. Even more if you buy your own truck.

English classes in non-english speaking countries, I met an Aussie who immigrated that was making almost as much as I was as a jr. software security engineer :lol::nonono:

Apparently you can get a flight, food, accommodations and a decent salary teaching English in Korea.

Tree planters in Canada apparently make great cash, but it's grueling work.

I caught word that those english lessons can be done online so you never even have to leave your house.  I can’t remember where I heard it but I remember the money they were making made me really wish I could speak some sort of asian.  Apparently you just ‘facetime’ with whoever and then bill them by the hour or however you figure it.

That seems like a good gig.

We have some guys working in Chicago running a type of concrete demolition equipment and they get $95 an hour, and the job is 50 hour weeks. So before taxes you're looking at $4500 a week.

Technically yeah, but factor in the required insurance, the permits, the maintenance costs, the cost of the machine, the payroll, the everything. So it's lot like a cool $4500 in profit every week. Which is doable in some other trades.

Hope it holds true with Spanish speaking people, it'd be dope to be able to work at home. Then again, I've never taught English, so I wouldn't know where to start!

Spanish/Japanese translators make a killing here, starting at 30k Mxn a month.

You're confused. The guys who are working there literally earn $95 an hour and work 50 hour weeks. None of that other shit applies to them, because they are employees, not the business owners.
