의외로 많은 돈을 벌 수 있는 직업 4가지 Surprising salaries for jobs you’d never imagine

 

 

 

지난 8월 14일, 영국의 BBC가 '당신의 상상보다 많은 돈을 벌 수 있는 직업'들을 소개했다. 면면을 살펴보면, 아직 한국에는 보편화되지 않았거나, 한국에도 있지만 외국의 같은 직업 종사자들만큼 돈을 벌 수 없는 직업들이다. BBC가 소개한 직업들 가운데 몇 가지를 추렸다.   1. 뉴욕의 오페라 극장에서 일하는 목수 "지난 2009년 카네기홀에서 일하는 목수 가운데 가장 수입이 적은 사람은 한 해동안 30만 달러(약 3억 600만원)를 벌었다. 마스터 급의 목수는 40만달러(4억 800만원)보다 더 많은 수입을 올일 수 있다. 메트로폴리탄 오페라의 마스터급 목수는 한 해에 50만 달러(5억 1000만원)정도를 번다. 그의 보스보다 약 20% 정도 많은 액수다."   2. 대도시의 빌딩 공사현장에서 일하는 크레인 운전사 "만약 뉴욕처럼 고층빌딩 현장이 많은 도시에서 일할 수 있다면, 1년에 약 50만 달러(5억 1000만원)정도를 벌 수 있다. 물론 크레인 운전사는 너무 힘들고 스트레스가 많은 직업이다. 위험을 즐길 수 있다면 좋은 직업이다."   3. 애완견 산책 전문가 "우리는 세션당 25달러(2만5천원) 정도를 받는다. 한번에 8마리의 개를 산책시킬 수도 있다. 또 하루에 두 번씩 산책을 나간다. 개들을 데리러 갔다가 공원에서 놀게 한 후 다시 데려다 주는 데 약 3시간 정도 소요된다. 말하자면 하루에 6시간 정도를 일하는 셈이다. 이렇게 해서 1년에 약 9만 6천달러(약 9800만원)정도를 번다. 심지어 대부분 현금으로 받는다."   4. 수영장 청소 전문가 "6개월에 약 6만 달러(6100만원) 정도를 벌 수 있다. 팁도 받는다. 손님마다 1주일에 40달러 정도로 계약한 후, 청소와 소독관리를 해준다. 모든 수영장을 일주일에 한 번씩 관리한다고 했을 때, 하루에 10개 정도의 수영장을 관리할 수 있다. 대학교육을 받지 않아도 할 수 있는 일이다."   허핑턴포스트코리아  | 작성자 강병진 http://www.huffingtonpost.kr/2014/08/20/story_n_5693774.html?utm_hp_ref=mostpopular

 

 

Surprising salaries for jobs you’d never imagine

A good dog walker can earn $96,000. (Thinkstock)   Growing up, your parents may have encouraged you to become a doctor or lawyer, careers that elicited prestige and, quite often, were equated with very high pay. But it turns out that your childhood dreams of becoming a carpenter or a crane operator may have served you equally well—or better—financially.   We turned to question-and-answer-site Quora for a look at the jobs most people assume don’t make a lot of money but, in reality, pay very well.   Here’s what respondents in-the-know had to say about the unexpected  jobs that pay big.   Behind the scenes According to opera singer David Leigh, one of the best paid jobs is that of a theatrical carpenter in New York City.   “The lowest-earning carpenters at Carnegie Hall made $300,000 in 2009, and the props master made over $400,000,” Leigh wrote. “At the Metropolitan Opera, the master carpenter earns over $500,000 a year, which is about 20% more than his boss earns.”   Indeed, often the highest paying positions are protected by union contracts, David S Rose pointed out. “The guy who operates the hoist (the outside elevator) on a construction site in New York City,” is extremely well paid, Rose wrote. “While it looks like all he's doing is pushing a button to make the lift go up and down, and while in fact that may be all that he is doing, a combination of factors … makes him the highest paid person on the entire construction site (including all of the superintendents and managers on the job!) We're talking about hundreds of thousands of dollars annually.”   Similarly, crane operators carry high earning potential, according to Nimish Pratha. “If you live in a city that has a lot of high-rise construction projects, like New York, you could make $500k a year (New York City Crane Operators Top $500,000 in Pay, Benefits),” Pratha said. “However, crane operation is a ridiculously difficult and stressful job, as you can probably imagine,” pointing to an article titled. A crane operator explains risks, joy.   The chores we don’t want to do ourselves There are jobs, however, that are well paid that are neither dangerous nor unionised. They are successful, perhaps, because they fill a service niche and offer peace of mind.   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.”   Some pool cleaners earn more than $120,000 per year.

Lucas Mund spent a summer in college working at a local burger chain. “My 19 year-old boss was taking home $35,000/year with benefits,” he said. “Plus they train you on the job for free. She told me that she was on track to be a regional manager by the age of 30 and would make 100k by then.”   Working your way up to store manager has its perks. According to Murray Godfrey a Wal-Mart store manager “of a store in a moderate-sized locale can easily make $200k plus bonuses based on sales.”   Katie Nellis said managers of Walgreen's drugstores in the US “often retire in their 40s.”   Feel good factor And there are jobs that succeed purely because they offer clients a feel good factor, like spiffing up our tresses.   In India, hair dressers can earn more than employees in the software industry. During a recent visit to the salon, Karteeka Gosukonda starting discussing salaries with the stylist. “He said he was quite baffled that being in the… software industry we make less than him,” she wrote. “He went on to explain further that as a junior hair dresser in the salon he makes around 90,000-100,000 Indian rupee per month easily. And on particularly favourable days, he makes 30k Indian rupee in a single day,” equivalent to $500 per day.   She added: “Our ideas of high-paying, ‘elitist’ software industry [employees] were shattered that day!”   http://www.bbc.com/capital/story/20140814-that-job-pays-how-much bbc.
