细数美国"另类"高薪工作

2010-05-12来源:和谐英语

  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。
