I'm not gonna lie, some of these jobs sound pretty fun to me.

As a Resident Writer here at BuzzFeed, I cover topics like politics, weird history, tech, trending viral stories, and other various corners of the internet.

"My friend's brother did this, and they're very well off. They started just hauling dirt, rocks, and gravel, and then they invested in their own land to store dirt, rocks, and gravel. So they'll show up to pick up dirt, and then they'll just keep it for a future project that needs to buy dirt."

"Nobody wants to do it, but when your toilet explodes at 2 a.m., you're paying whatever they ask."

"I second this comment based on my personal experience. I left a career in food service after 12-14 years and wasted time & money in culinary school.

Within a year as a team manager, I was making about 10-13% more than I was after 13 years as a chef. 14 years later, I am a client services director, make a nice 6-figure salary, and my WFH job consists mainly of sending and forwarding emails between team members. I am technically a millionaire. Had I stayed as a chef, I don't think I would even own my home by now."

"I grew up operating a family cleaning business, and I can say the only issue (aside from employee retention) was the Karens at desk jobs upset that a crumb was left at their desk on a random Tuesday. The turnover rate can be difficult to manage, but it is so easy to start up a cleaning business and stay profitable."

"20 years ago, a dude I played D&D with was a shipping supplies salesman. He pulled in $300k/yr easy, 20 years ago. I’ve lost contact with him since then, but I can’t imagine how much he makes now."

"Our head Technical PM is the highest-paid non-C-suite person on staff. He deals with some absolute bullshit, but he's more than compensated for it."

"My brother-in-law has a lawn business in Aspen. He works all summer. When the snow hits, he has enough saved to either ski or go to the tropics for the winter."
