Thread: anyone know of odd/exciting jobs that make bank?

  1. #1

    Default anyone know of odd/exciting jobs that make bank?

    Entry level stuff though. I'm talking like oil drilling, mining, high rise window washing, deep sea commercial fishing, something that involves helicopters etc etc.

    jobs where youre in a cool location, work your ass off for like 8 months or whatever, and make lots of money?
    not having to spend money for start up would be nice too.

    If you like heights, constructing/erecting cell towers pays bank. I worked at a hotel where a crew of guys were staying for a few months that worked 6 days per week, 12+ hrs. a day and made about $1,000 per day.

    No idea what the company name was, though.

    I love kids. They're short, highly emotional people who don't know anything. They rely on their creativity and imagination to get by in the world. A world, I might add, filled with giants. Amazing feat.

    not exciting. i was offered a job at a credit card manufacturing plant. pouring plastic was the bulk, but the interesting stuff was the magnet strips.


    i never looked into it after the conversation involving the offer, so i can't give you any insight. not exciting, but different. the pay/benefits were pretty solid

    cell tower stuff seems like you would need certification. but yes, i like heights.

    maybe an ocean going trash barge or some shit. i dont know.

    oil rigs, crab fishing, trash barges?

    Are you actively seeking an industry where you don't get laid often due to work patterns? I used to think that I needed an exciting and fruitful job, but after taking a pain free opportunity and working in an office for a few months (~$20 an hour) I've realized that my time is the only thing I'm trading here as I am still young and not sure what I want in life. There is a lot of different ways to make money, but I'm glad I don't bust my ass daily and have an adequate salary fresh out of college. I'll take the exciting stuff when I figure out what I want.

    Become a Mexican kidnapper.

    Odd because it's bad, exciting because you get to evade the authorities, makes bank because it's kidnapping.

    Defense contractor.

    JK'ing, that takes experience. My uncle makes 160,000 fixing vehicles in Afghanistan


    Wyoming is full of methane rigs. My roommate used to work on one and almost got his hand cut off one day. A few of his fingers were barely attached after getting his glove stuck in a giant drill.

    You could try out for my superorganized militia that'll run this city as soon as I've earned enough to organize it. Start slinging now if you lack experience with guns and explosives. Oh and like in proffesional rollerblading I won't provide insurance, but unlike the bladers you'll earn bank.

    The cell/radio tower thing is intense. You can make a shit load, but its hard dangerous work. Dudes are super protective of their techniques and stuff. Its kinda cool.

    Navy is super cool

    electronic warfare is freaking awesome.

    I worked for an airline for like 7 years. You don't make bank right away, but if you're down to put some time in you can work your way up to decent dough.

    The job was ill as fuck though. Towing airplanes, talking on the radio saying cool shit like "copy" .....and this shit is the shit right here (if you live in a wintery climate)
