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!

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 suppose you get fed as a rent boy too, in a way 😐

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

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

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
