Which Jobs Pay Well But Aren't Too Demanding?

[-Ad-]

Slightly strange comparison. I imagine the risk of suicides on the Underground is significantly higher than your everyday commute to work.

edit: in real life terms I drive 2 hours a day, not one suicide have I seen or heard from colleagues / friends / family who drive 10's of thousands of miles. In the 10 times a year or so I visit London every year, I have at least 1 disruption due to a fatality on the Underground.

People thing Underground Drivers have it easy.

It really isn't that easy being couped up in a cab for 4 hrs, driving in monotanous dark tunnels. And if you're not driving one of the newer ATO trains then you're having to manually drive the things and it isn't just flat and easy down there. There are constant changing gradients, speed restrictions and many other things going on.

In terms of a 'one under', plenty of times said person will be a complete mess with missing limbs but won't be dead, so it's not a case of dead, lets move on. the driver will have to sort out annoyed passengers as well as dealing with what he has just seen.

They are still fairly annoying at most times

Isn't most of the LU network above ground?

I'd be interested in suggestions for jobs that pay well but aren't too demanding. Do they exist?

Thanks

I thought you get paid more if you don't lube up? Plus it's over sooner so I've heard

Deep water engineering.

Only a handful of qualified guys in the world, so you get paid £100,000's for each job.

You can live a very comfortable lifestyle for only a couple months work per year.



Extremely dangerous though, life expectancy is ~50

Mine is pretty easy, but I would say that. I get paid silly amounts to do it too really.

Jobs like that are high paid specifically because they are demanding or highly skilled.

This thread is crap tbh.

Become fluent in Pashto. The Government pay a lot for fluent speakers although that's usually because you're getting shot at.

*looks shifty*

Erm...


I work in SharePoint & I think it's easy. Could train anyone in it.

As much as I can, I just try and tell people what to do. Having to do it yourself means more pain and normally less money

 

[randomshenans]

SAP seems in quite a bit of demand, from what I've been talking to recruitment people about. Reckon you could teach yourself all that guff in no time.

 

[UncleRuckus]

A YouTube "celebrity" like Ijustine, all you need is a webcam/microphone and be talentless hack, loadddssss a money!

Teach me, and then get me a job? I'll move in, and bring whisky.

It's not that much, and it isn't exactly undemanding either.

Yup, so actually not always in dark tunnels. nless they've built underground depots

Much nicer when you get out of the tunnels!

No idea, my friend who told me about it described it as 'fixing underwater JCBs'

What exactly do with SharePoint that is easy and you could train anyone to do?!
