make money NOT war!

"Whenever you are asked if you can do a job, tell 'em, "Certainly, I can!" Then get busy and find out how to do it."

- Theodore Roosevelt

Yeah, so everyone wants to earn moolah. 

And everyone wants to earn the highest-possible amount they can!

But doing the same jobs and vying for the same posts is so boring!

Where is the fun in earning money?

Why is it that people forget, that money can be earned while having fun too?!

Forget engineering, medicine, law, teaching and the other trodden path...

Finding a job in a recession is difficult, but the jobs are out there. You just have to know where to look, and for some jobs, be willing to think outside the cube -- imagine selling tequila shots to drunken men for up to Rs.15,000 a night, diving for pearls for Rs.30,000 a day or diving below an oil rig for Rs.40 lac a year. The good news is that these weird jobs pay well, and are unique jobs to add to a resume

Here are some jobs which are wacky but yet they pay you well! :D

1. Shot Girl

The Wall Street Journal reports, that shot girls make between Rs.5,000 to Rs.12,000 a night! That's a huge amount for women in their early 20s and is an awesome awesome job!

They are paid Rs.50 for every shot they sell at the pub, with the rest coming from tips, which vary between Rs.50 to Rs.1,000 per round. The watered-down tequila in a plastic test-tube and the Jello-O shots cost around Rs.30 to make and sell for Rs.300 to Rs.500. After the young woman gets her cut, the cash is evenly split between the bar and the company managers.

The only down-side to this job is that the shot girls wear revealing tops and shorts, which may not be appealing for all women! :|

2. Submarine Cook

In USA, a senior submarine cook with more than six years of experience earns around Rs.1 to 1.5 crores per year, the same as a junior admiral.

It is around the same here in India. The base pay is Rs.30 lac onwards per year, but the key is in the bonuses, which include a capability bonus of Rs.20 lac, seagoing allowances, Rs.25 lac, submarine service allowance of Rs.25 lac, and a bonus of Rs.50 lac a year just for showing up for work, because the job is listed as "critical to the navy."

And there is nothing bad about the job! :D

3. Macau Junket Operator

If you can convince millionaires to travel to the Chinese city of Macau to gamble at a casino, you could earn 1.2% or more of whatever the high-rollers gamble. Baccarat pays a 2.7% commission. That could add up to Rs.2,50,000 per month.

And it's even legal!!!!!

4. Pearl Diver

It's a dangerous occupation, but diving for pearls in many regions of the world pays really well. Offshore rates are Rs.30,000 to Rs.50,000 per day, and overseas daily rates start at Rs. 15,000 to Rs.20,000 per day.

OMG!

5. Oil and Gas Diver

This may not be the most glamorous job since the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, but oil and gas divers can earn up to Rs.1 to 1.5 crores a year. Tasks required in this demanding underwater job include inspecting and installing rigs, welding or laying pipe. The best news: It's a growing field.

Hmmmmm...not bad to have a husband in this field! :P

6. Master Sommelier

This is one job, where you get paid to drink!!! :D

Experienced sommeliers, who help diners in upscale restaurants find wines that perfectly compliment their meals and their palates, can earn Rs.1 to 2 crores per year. They develop restaurants' wine lists, advise clients on pairings and must know many wines by detail.

7. Airplane Repo Man

This is a job for the adventurers and high-risk takers, who can take on high-stress and are paid big bucks for it.

Aircraft repossessors can get a 6 to10% commission of the resale price of a plane they get back for a bank. For planes costing millions of dollars, that can add up to $10,000 to $900,000 per plane. 

Be prepared for tough work, though. 

Some repo men get shot at or tossed in a foreign prison..!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


8. Bounty Hunter
Like a repo man, this is a dangerous job that can get you killed!
A bounty hunter's job is to track down a person who's skipped town on bail and put him back in jail. Of course, the criminal won't likely be co-operative so...
Pay is 10 to 45% of the bail deposit amount, so a suspect who skips out on Rs.50 lac bail could net the bounty hunter Rs.50,000 to Rs.20 lac upon his or her return. Experienced bounty hunters who take high-risk assignments can make more than Rs.50 lac per year.


9. White Hat Hacker
Instead of trying to steal information from computers and use it to make money, these ethical hackers help companies find security holes in their computer systems. The top certified ethical hackers earn up to Rs.70 lac per year, and need a bachelor's degree in computer science or information technology.
Hmmmm...geekily cool!! :D


10. Voice-over Work
From cartoons to radio commercials, voice-over work can pay well if you get the right job. Five minutes of finished audio can pay Rs.10,000 to someone who is experienced. Even lesser-known voice-over artists can earn Rs.30 lac to Rs.50 lac per year.
Disney...yeah!!!!!


So who says that only white-collar jobs pay well? Go figure!
