10 Jobs That Are Not Very Tempting… But Very Well Paid
You have to assume it: We live in a very bad economic context, especially if you are a young person We have worse jobs than our parents had, with worse economic conditions and worse prospects for advancement.
Of course, if there is a phenomenon that bothers us as a young generation, it is the paradox of academic titles They had told us when we were children that, if we studied hard, our efforts would be rewarded a few years later, in the form of good jobs that would fulfill us as a person and that would allow us to live, at least, with the same comforts as our parents: a nice house, money to take trips and discover other cultures, entertainment…
But it was a lie
However, in this desire to build a better future, we have wanted to follow pre-established rules and we have been a slave to ‘titulitis’. Titulitis, which It is this imperative need to have diplomas of all kinds to accredit our wisdom and our academic success But, as we have seen later, collecting titles was no guarantee of finding work.
Economic conditions and wages
How much do young people earn nowadays? In Spain, in addition to having youth unemployment that is around 50% (yes, it is said quickly), the “lucky” ones who manage to find a job are not in a much better situation. The majority earn salaries within the range of the SMI (€655 per month) and €1,000. Salaries that, in any case, allow for a fairly reduced standard of living, with minimal comforts.
Have you ever dreamed of earning a salary of €3,000, €4,000 or €5,000 per month? Maybe yes, but I’m sure you are realistic and it doesn’t even occur to you that you can find a job with these characteristics , at least in the short term. It is possible that when you think of jobs in which these amounts are paid, you think of executives, company directors, etc. But there are also “other style” jobs that are paid very well. Although of course, they may not be so appetizing.
What are these jobs that can take us out of misery? Believe me, There are jobs that pay very well, although everything has its friendly side and its less friendly side : They tend to be jobs that no one wants to do, due to their hardness, or due to some circumstance that makes them… unappetizing.
Unpleasant jobs with good salaries
In this article we will review a total of 10 jobs that are very well paid… because they are the least suggestive
1. Chicken sexer
A classic among slightly… strange jobs. Knowing how to guess (because it really is complicated) the sex of chickens is a very unsuggestive job, but it pays very well: up to €5,000 per month But it is not that easy, since it requires more than three years of training to be able to discriminate between male and female chickens quickly and accurately enough. Spending the day looking at chicken butts doesn’t sound very stimulating, but maybe the salary will compensate. Up to you.
2. Embalmer of corpses
If the job of chicken sexer seemed a little strange to you, better not read this one. Corpse embalmers can earn more than €3,000 per month carrying out chemical treatments with which to “clean up” people who have already died. The high salary is not so much due to the fact of being in contact with the dead (although it is certainly not something that most people are excited about), but rather due to the danger of working with chemicals.
Yes, a magnificent salary. But you are going to be pointed out on the street and you are going to be ultimately responsible for everything that happens in your entity, of course also the bad. Does that compensate for a salary of €15,000 per month (or much more)? Well now you can start studying economics. If your father was already a director of a bank, it is easier for you.
4. Tailcoat collector
The frac collectors chase defaulters and debtors through the street The positive: they charge good amounts, usually on commission of what they manage to raise. The bad: if you come across a debtor who is a little aggressive, you can end up in a very bad position.
5. Hot dog vendor
In big cities, such as London, New York or Chicago, employees of large companies have little time to eat. In addition, the restaurants downtown of these cities are usually very expensive. Solution? Eat at a fast food stop. Street vendors can earn between 35,000 and 75,000 euros annually As much as some people find it a bit “shabby” work, it is a good business.
6. Funeral Services Manager
More dead. Funeral services are responsible for helping in the moments of farewell to a recently deceased person, transporting the coffin and organizing the event. But yes, they earn a lot of money: more than 60,000 euros per year
7. Golf Ball Rescuer
Does this job exist? Well yes As you probably know, golf courses have small lakes and ponds into which, inevitably, many balls that stray from their target fall every day. And of course, someone is going to have to dive in to “rescue” the hundreds of balls that accumulate. A certain Jim Reid found a niche in this need, collecting more than 100,000 balls a day from different golf courses with his company.
It’s not particularly hard or unpleasant work, but… would you feel good about having a bunch of photographers photographing and praising your feet, or another part of your body? Maybe you would feel like an object, right? It’s like admitting that you have a face that is too ugly to be a model, but as for your feet… they are magnificent! Somewhat discouraging. Of course, if you manage to belong to a good agency, you can earn a lot of money
9. Cruise entertainer
Do you have the soul of a clown? This may be your opportunity. Cruise ship entertainers spend the day animating the scene, proposing games and recreational activities. For retirees, of course. This includes playing bingo, ballroom dancing, slightly old-fashioned monologues… But if you like the idea, You have to know that they can charge more than €3,000 per month Not bad.
10. Notary
For some it is the perfect job: You put a signature on a document and you get a good deal It is true, but what is not usually known is that notaries have had to study a lot, a lot, to get there. Although the salary compensates, only a select few with a lot of willpower can aspire to create those “golden signatures.”
