ITT: unconventional high paying (>100k) jobs

I'm searching for something exciting that involves traveling. I'm thinking about professional poker playing, somehow getting a job in the energy sector...

Do /biz/antines know of unconventional yet high paying occupations?

Can't say exactly how much he's on but I'd say Louis Theroux's job is unconventional, involves a lot of traveling and to be honest, it's my dream job.

Nothing much comes to mind.

I think many of the fun, exciting jobs have very low pay because, well, they're fun and exciting.

Maybe a bartender at a high-end resort? You can live in a great area and make good tips from drunk, rich people.

Intelligence contractoror sub-contractor. You'll have to serve in the military first though, or be a LEO or spy first.

Stagehand on Broadway. No bullshit. $150,000+ is common. Long hours, big union, you pretty much need to be born into it but if you're in you're fucking set.

Oh, and even city bus drivers can rake it in, if they get a lot of overtime. Same for most city workers.

I always thought the traveling portion of his job was great. The moralizing they did on how you can't be successful without settling down with a family was lame (I'd love to have a family one day, but I see the appeal of his lifestyle).

You could go to Maritime school and get your commercial unlimited tonnage license, drive cruise ships. Once you get there you can become a personal yacht captain. They say its 1k for every foot. Go down to Ft. Lauderdale sometime and check out the 160ft yachts. You travel, live luxuriously, and get to drive some of the most beautiful vessels you've ever seen.

All work sucks, the higher paying it is, the more sucking it is. That's why it's called work and that's why they pay you

Cruise ships have shit pay. But you'd be set otherwise. It's nothing but travel really (a different kind of travel maybe), and not even the years on I'll do about 200k this year.

I got an offer from a beach club/hotel that has locations around the world. It sounds glamorous but doing Atlanta to Dubai in coach sounds worse than hell.
