Not all people seeking employment are content with traditional sectors. So now Forbes has put together a list of 12 bizarre posts that come with solid salaries, with yoga master at the top place。
According to Forbes May 9, although teaching yoga doesn't always guarantee people a hefty salary, Bikram Choudhury could receive an impressive $5.7 billions a year, which reflects the fact that he can list as clients luminaries like former US President Richard Nixon. He created bikram yoga, had a bunch of franchises and millions of fans。
No one ever said taking on weird and well-paying jobs would be easy. Take submarine chefs. A cook with six years of submarine cooking experience earns up to $227,500 per year. Part of the reason is that it's hard to lure qualified chefs underwater to work for the nation's armed forces--even with the temptation of $4,000 per week--as they tend to prefer the freedom and perks of life on dry land。
Pearl divers can pull in up to $110,000 for just two months of work. However, they are always under the stress of getting lost and lack of air。
Yet anther below-ground High-paying but hard job is that of an oil & gas diver. Qualified professionals in this industry can make up to $80,000 a year. They are very highly trained and require specialized certification beyond other commercial divers and they have to suffer from long separation from family。
看來並不是所有人對傳統意義上的工作感興趣。近日，美國《福布斯》雜誌評出12種“另類”高薪工作，瑜伽大師高居榜首，另有潛艇廚師、採珠潛水員和油氣井潛水員等工作均收入頗豐，但相應代價不小。
據美國《福布斯》網站9日報道，印度知名瑜伽大師喬杜裏年收入57億美元令人驚詫，但報道稱“當然一般的瑜伽老師不可能像他這樣日進斗金”。喬杜裏首創了“熱瑜伽”，擁有無數連鎖店以及一大批執著的追隨者，就連美國前總統尼克松也曾是這位瑜伽大師的顧客。
《福布斯》雜誌稱，要獲取豐厚收入也得付出相應的'代價。比如潛艇廚師，有六年經驗的潛艇廚師年薪高達27萬美元，週薪高達4000美元卻少人問津，原因在於一方面很難找到在國防在廚藝上同時達標的廚師，另一方面幾乎沒人願意悶在狹小的潛艇內不見陽光。
澳大利亞海底採珍珠員工作2個月就能有11萬美元進賬，不過潛入海底也不排除迷路或者缺氧的可能性，因此他們的精神承受巨大壓力。
油氣井潛水員除了要會潛水，更需有維修油井的專業知識，還得忍受在外海工作的孤寂，8萬美元年薪堪稱“辛苦錢”。
