Do
you like dogs? Would you like to earn money working with them? If
you're a great dog walker, you can earn $96,000 a year. It's one of many
jobs that pay really well, even though you might not have heard of
them.
BBC Capital reports:
A
good dog walker, for instance, can make a mint, according to Aaron
Boodman. “Our dog walker charges $25/session,” Boodman wrote. “He takes
up to eight dogs walking at a time (soon to be the legal limit in my
city), twice a day. That's $96k per year, much of it in cash. Once he's
picked up and dropped off all the dogs, each run to the dog park takes
about three hours round trip. So his workday is about six hours.”
One
anonymous pool boy said he made more than $60,000, plus tips, for just
six months of work. “I would charge a customer $40 a week to keep their
pools clean and all the chemicals balanced. This usually took me about
45 minutes a trip,” he wrote.
“I would typically only have to
visit the pool once a week so I could do many pools in a week. For about
five years I maintained roughly 10 pools a day, six days a week for six
months out of the year…I was making good money for an 18 year old with
no college education.”
Other jobs require mastering
unusual skills. A theatrical carpenter, for example, can earn $400,000 a
year. A a construction crane operator may be one of the highest paid
employees on a site, earning $500,000 a year.
