From a previous thread I was quite surprised that a Head Librarian can earn £70K. With a few Head Teachers earning £200k+ what other jobs pay more than you would expect?

I have a mate who earns £500 a day ripping out asbestos. Nasty hard work but suits his lifestyle and he only works 2-3 days a week on average, so not all bad!

people who put out traffic cones on motor ways.

about £30k.

it’s danger money though – death rate is high. know some people who did it to pay for degrees in years out etc!

That’s including nightshifts and extra shifts etc though. I worked for a Highway agency a while back and if you include the shift allowances etc then maybe you could earn that much.

People who are not in higher levels of management for oil companies – the share options are staggering.

I always found the perks of being a high class rentboy constantly surprising..

Rangers at reservoirs get about 30k they just collect fees from fishermen and they get a landy!

I once got £200 for counting votes after the European elections, very low turnout so only took about 30 mins

30 mins 😯

Was that with several recounts 😀

High end IT hardware or software sales or IT programme management. Plenty of 100k plus jobs there.

Climbing pylons, £50k after tax!

on remote islands where there are few kids at school, there is one teacher, who is technically the head teacher, and is paid accordingly
papa westray – school population 4, no 2 on map

north ronaldsay – school population – 2, no 3 on map

if remote island living is your thing, it doesn’t get much better
