Some jobs are easy to do and pay great money. Most people dream of acquiring these kinds of jobs.
A user asked the forum, “What job isn’t hard and pays great money?” Here are the top responses.
TECHNOLOGY INDUSTRY
“I know many people in the technology industry who never really complain about their work and make decent money.”
PROGRAMMER
“I enjoyed being a programmer, and it paid great. I have a Computer Science degree and specialized in ‘systems programming,’ compilers, device drivers, and operating system internals.
It is a bit of a niche specialization, so you don’t face competition from the ‘code camp’ masses and salary depression (supply and demand). After ten years of systems programming, I had many other high-paying opportunities: program manager, technical writer, technical partner manager, etc.”
TELEVISION COMMERCIALS
“If you book them frequently enough, acting in television commercials is an effortless way to make a lot of money.”
SYSTEM ADMINISTRATOR
“I work as a system administrator for a specialized program, and I like it. I only interact with important stakeholders, not lower-level ones. I’m generally respected for my expertise because I’m considered a subject-matter expert, and I’ve had pretty good bosses. A lot of it is the company culture and how supported you are by your manager.”
TEACHER
“Teaching the super-rich, very rare to obtain this opportunity, but it’s very relaxing.”
ADMINISTRATIVE WORK
“I love my job. I’m not an admin, but my work is administrative. I work for a national laboratory and work from home. I work a 4/10 schedule, so I get three-day weekends every week and make six figures. My group and my boss appreciate me. I am fortunate.”
BUSINESS ANALYST
“I work as a business analyst and, before this, an operations manager for a good-sized bank. Job is laid back, they preach work-life balance, and I earn more now than I ever thought I would.”
PILOT
“I’m a pilot; it’s my dream job, and I even fly for fun when I’m not flying for work. It’s a way more attainable career than most people think. I’ve been flying professionally for eight years. I’ve flown for commercial airlines and now fly a private jet. I love it.”
PAINTER
“I don’t know why, but I love painting houses. I make decent money for a labor job, and I feel fulfilled. Something about making people happy that keeps me going.”
REGULATORY COMPLIANCE ATTORNEY
“I am a regulatory compliance attorney with seven years of experience. I make $200k-250k by working from home and don’t do any long or difficult work.
Other attorneys pulling in $300k, 400k, and more would certainly consider this a sad salary, so I guess it’s all relative. But it’s a high-demand career that affords me the ‘soft’ life I always wanted; I am not a hustler.”
MECHANICAL ENGINEER
“I took mechanical engineering and have had a great career in project management. It has its moments, but I enjoy it. Not as much as not working, but it’s still good.”
ARMY PHYSICIAN
“Canadian Army Physician, $34k a month.”
UNDERWRITER IN THE INSURANCE INDUSTRY
“I’m an underwriter in the insurance industry, specifically property & casualty in the non-standard market. I get to see something different and weird every day. The pay is excellent, and the company I work for is astounding.
It comes with its stressors and annoyances like any other job, but they’re minimal compared to most other gigs. Some people might hate it, but I love it.”
COMPUTER CYBERSECURITY
“I worked in computer cybersecurity and retired early because all went well. It was a great job. It was and still is a field with high demand, and when I started, nobody I worked for felt they knew more than me, so I did not have people breathing down my neck. It still pays very well.”
QUALITY CONTROL
“Quality control, just walk around with a clipboard and watch other people work.”
