I’ve never been interested in writing code or being too literate with the online world, but right now, it’s a very lucrative market.

Champagne Tester.
Champagne has been the poison of choice for the gentry for hundreds of years, it has connotations of style, celebration and class.
All champagne companies employ a taster to be sure that their product is the best. It is a life of luxury but you have to have such a sensitive palate and must be able to distinguish very slight differences in taste. This skill has to be combined with an extensive knowledge which takes years of research and dedication. But to have a job that ships you around the world, to the southern hills of France to the Hollywood hills you can’t complain right?

Lamborghini Dealer.
Lamborghini dealerships are always going to be based in locations that are saturated with money. It is a very hard business to get into and you have to be the best salesman around to be successful but imagine driving to and from work in a matte black Lamborghini? The salary isn’t as big as you would expect, they normally start at around a basic $20,000 a year, but with a high amount of commission you can be earning well over six figures a year. The dealership in Miami is one of the most successful in the world and the dealer there has sold over $2.5bn worth of cars and he drives a gold plated Aventador to work every day.

So you get to travel around the world, documenting the lives of every living thing on the planet from the deep sea jellyfish of the pacific ocean to the tibetan monks high up in the Himalayas. You get to see more of the planet than most human ever have and ever will and you get to document it for others to see. The work you have to put in is intense and you would be expected to have a scientific masters degree of a PhD. There are limitless choices in what you want to study, some people could be quite happy scouring the great plains of Oklahoma for signs of something interesting and some people enjoying living in Antarctica. Penguinologists spend the majority of their careers in arctic conditions, with penguins just to learn about them and to share with the world how they live. The salary may not be high for these explorers but a wealth of knowledge and experience is much more valuable.
