10 Weird Jobs That Pay Well...

I like the idea of airplane repo man! That should be a new reality show! LOL!

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 box. WalletPop.com has compiled a list of weird jobs that pay well:

Shot girl: Shot girls make between $300 and $600 a night. They’re paid 25 cents for every shot they sell at the bar, with the rest coming from tips, which vary between $1 and $20 per round.
Submarine cook:In Australia, a senior submarine cook with more than six years of experience earns $200,000 (about $187,000 U.S.) per year, the same as a junior admiral. The base pay is $58,806 per year, but the bonuses include a capability bonus of $40,000, seagoing allowance of $22,254, submarine service allowance of $26,703, and a bonus of $50,000 a year just for showing up for work, because the job is listed as “critical to the navy.”
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 $5,000 per month.
Pearl diver: It’s a dangerous occupation, but diving for pearls in Australia pays well. Offshore rates are $1,216 (American) per day, and overseas daily rates start at $500 American.
Oil and gas diver: Oil and gas divers can earn up to $80,000 a year. Tasks required include inspecting and installing rigs, welding or laying pipe.
Master sommelier: Experienced sommeliers, who help diners in upscale restaurants find wines that perfectly complement their meals and their palates, can earn $80,000 to $160,000 per year. They develop restaurants’ wine lists, advise clients on pairings and must know many wines by detail.
Airplane repo man: 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.
Bounty hunter: Pay is 10 to 45% of the bail deposit amount, so a suspect who skips out on $100,000 bail could net the bounty hunter $10,000 to $45,000 upon his or her return. Experienced bounty hunters who take high-risk assignments can make more than $100,000 per year.
White hat hacker: Ethical hackers help companies find security holes in their computer systems. The top certified ethical hackers earn up to $123,900 per year, and need a bachelor’s degree in computer science or information technology.
Voice-over work: Five minutes of finished audio can pay $325 to someone who is experienced. Even lesser-known voice-over artists can earn $50,000 to $80,000 per year.
