Article #3: 7 Unusual Jobs with Great Pay
Aaron B.
ReplyDeletevery interesting jobs....wonder if they will show up on Realty Town.
I really enjoyed this article. I enjoyed the article because the writing style was very good. I liked how they had a variety of jobs and explained them in great detail. I also liked how they had a proved that not all high-paying jobs are behind a desk. I would recommend this article to anyone who is trying to find a unique high-paying job.

I really enjoyed this article. I thought it was iteresting that there are such random little jobs that get alot of pay. I liked how for each job they had at least a paragraph description telling you about the job. I thought the crab catching sounded really fun. It's good to know that there are these jobs out there.

I really liked this article because they have all of these neat jobs like bounty hunting and mining and even crab catching. Some of the reasons I like these jobs are, if you are a bounty hunter then you get to have a special license to bring people to jail without going to court, they also can earn up to 45,000 dollars each criminal they bring to the police. As a miner you can earn up to $300,000 per annum. When you are a crab catcher you work three months and can earn lots of money. The bad things about being a crab catcher is that you should lose limbs really easily.

I liked the article beecause it proveded all these jobs that are unique and have a great pay. So incase I can't get the dream job that I want I can always go look for one of these types of jobs and still be able to provide for my family

I found this article very interesting. I think it is really neat that they found some interesting and unusual jobs that have some pretty decent pay. Besides the fact that you could easily lose a limb some of these jobs would not be a bad choice. I also found it very interesting that some of these jobs don't take years of study and schooling. All in all I found that this article very useful.

This article was interesting. The jobs made me rethink my career choices. Some of these jobs interested me and fit my personality and skills.

ReplyDeleteWell, this was fascinating, but, they all seem hazardous. I mean, the Court Reporter, they might get carpal tunnel, and the Mine Manager, risk of a tunnel collapsing, and the Greeting Card Writer might get a papercut! Nightmarish injuries for everyone of them. But otherwise it was good.

I thought the article was really interesting. Learning about some of the different types of jobs surprised me. I never realized there was so many jobs out there. People just go through life and don't realize that there is a person making a life of greeting cards, fortune cookies, and being a pet psychologist.

ReplyDeleteI was amazed that those jobs could give you that much money. But those jobs sound like a last resort type jobs.

I thought this article was very interesting. I had no idea about these odd jobs, but it's cool that those jobs are out there and that some people make a living from the jobs listed. And because there aren't many people who know about or are willing to do those jobs, they actually pay really well. I enjoyed learning about the "different" jobs out there, I especially liked the Golf Ball Diver! That would be a fun job to swim around in lakes at golf courses, collecting golf balls, and getting paid for it, too.

ReplyDeleteI thought this article was cool because when you think of high paying jobs, you think of people like doctors, surgeons, or lawyers. But now I know that there are a lot more high paying jobs that I never even knew about. For example, I've never thought of Greeting Card writer as a career. But I guess somebody has got to do it right?

i thought all of these jobs were very interesting. Its hard to think that these are high paying jobs. the greeting card writer made me think of Mr. Deeds haha. I hope some one i know gets one of these jobs so i can see what its like. its cool how much money these guys make for the weird jobs they do.
Casen C.
ReplyDeleteThis article is very interesting. Well, not really. But, some of these jobs were pretty cool. A pet psychologist? I know where to go when my puss is a wuss! Golf ball diver was my favorite job of the other jobs. It'd be fun to go retrieve spherical objects. I never knew any of these jobs existed, but it seems fun to do these jobs. They're not for me, but for someone else. God bless them. Lol
I thought that this article is very helpful because it tells what people can do that pays a higher amount of money without a college degree.
ReplyDeleteI like jobs that have to do with law and it is interesting to read about how the Bounty Hunters can receive a lot of money for just bringing in the bad people. Personally I think this article is really helpful to me because it helps me know that there are many other high paying jobs out there besides being a surgeon or a photographer. I like to know that there are more jobs out there because it helps me visualize and think about the other careers that I might want to have than just being a doctor.

Alright, it's official. I'm a bounty hunter when I grow up. How cool would it be to be able to go around town telling everyone you know that your job is to catch badguys and put em in the hole. Hopefully that jobs in Reality Town so i can get some more information about being a super hero
Jayme H. A3
ReplyDeleteThis article was very well written. I loved how for every job it described exactly what the job was. I also like how it gave examples and was relative. I personally like the mine manager because I love to see cool stones. This job seems like a lot of fun, I also would enjoy the greeting card writer. I think it would be fun although I am not good at writing!

I found this article very interesting because the author thought of all these jobs no one really took into consideration for the bibliography or reality town. I like how each job had a different reference. I didn't really dislike anything, but I honestly wonder if I could make it as a bounty hunter haha. Maybe it would be fun just to interview someone who was living one of these jobs, whether the bounty hunter of the golf ball getter.. Person.. thing. Well, good job to whomever wrote the article, it was a job well done!:D

I thought that this was a really interesting article. I normally thought that all jobs were boring and kind of frustrating but i had no clue that they could be interesting and fun.
Tanner M A2 I would choose the golf ball diver if I had to chose one of those ocupations
ReplyDeleteMackenzie F. It is interesting reading about just a few other jobs that are out there that you wouldn't even think of while chosing a job.

Wow there are some very interesting jobs out there! I don't normally think of those types of jobs when I think of jobs. That mining job sounds the most interesting to me, because I like to look at cool stones and gems, I think they are cool. I don't think I would ever want to be a crab catcher, I don't think that would be very fun at all! But anyhow, those are some crazy jobs.
This article was quite enlightening. I find every single job in it interesting. Hmmm, something to think about when choosing my career path. Thank you Mrs. Brodrick

Dear Mrs. Brodrick,
With my greatest concern i am going to write you a message.
I thought this article contained quite a bit of "odd jobs" but my favorite was the bounty hunter. Because you get to visit quite a bit of places and get to hunt down someone in the process. One of the weirdest jobs there are in that paper was the golf ball guy. He gets to scuba dive AND make money at the same time. They are doing gods work.
Joie H. Period: B3
ReplyDeleteI think this article was interesting because I didn't even think of these kinds of jobs to pay so high. If I had to choose one of these jobs I would probably choose the greeting card writer. It seems like it would be fun to design them but im not the best at getting great ideas. Even though these jobs are very strange, I enjoyed reading this article.
Alejandra S.
ReplyDeleteB3
What an interesting article. I guess every little things you do that have to do with work equals job and pay. Its not going to be hard looking for a job anymore.
This article is freaking amazing! i had never thought of these kind of jobs before! The ones that i think are the best is, the bounty hunter and the golf diver! that would be an awesome job to have! I had no idea that a golf diver was even a job! that would be a cool job to have. If these jobs are on reality town, my life would be complete...(not really, because I want to do other things too) but it would still be awesome! The article was very entertaining, and was very helpful on jobs you can be that can be very fun.... this is a way better article then the rest of the articles that we had to do in class!
ReplyDeleteBrady G. B4
This was an interesting article. It was kind of like reading Dirty Jobs, only they weren't that dirty. Well anyway the only job there I might be interested in is the golf ball diver. All the other jobs sounded kind of hard and not very fun. Anyway this was a cool article which gets people to realize they can still get some kind of job even if they are slightly lazy.
ReplyDeleteSam R. B4

ReplyDeleteI found this article interesting. I don't know whether I like it or not. I must say though, that any of those jobs sounds entertaining to do. I found myself laughing at the pet psychologist. It just seems like a funny job to me. I highly doubt these jobs will be at reality town, but it would be interesting to see how many people would actually sign up for such silly jobs! I have read other articles such as this one and found them all interesting in their own way, because they all say how such unusual jobs get great pay. I can understand why it would get such a great pay, but why would anyone dive for golf balls in alligator or crocodile infested waters? That's just crazy!

I thought it was crazy that a Bounty Hunter was a real job. I had always thought they were just in movies, like Star Wars. I was also amazed at the jobs I knew about but didn't think you got a lot of money from. The Greeting Card making one was a new one. I really liked all those jobs I would never had thought of.

I never knew how ridiculous jobs could get! The crab catcher and the golf ball diver jobs are very funny! That list of jobs seem like they would be in the same category as the garbage people! I really liked this article, it got me thinking about other things that could be jobs like those.

I found this Article very interesting. I would have never guessed that Golf ball drivers scuba dived. Or even that bounty hunters made that much in just one capture. I would always think that a well paying job would be something along the lines of a doctor, or dentist, and so on. But, now I see that you can have a job you really enjoy and still get the money you deserve and need.

I fond this article as a very interesting thing to read. I mean a golfball diver making that much money. Wow, I want a job like that. Or the bounty hunter that would be so cool to do. I wish i could do that but not bee in that much danger. I had always believed you needed a normal great paying job to make a lot of money. Like a dentist or pharmacist. This is so cool and I love this article.

Hm, so this article is so amazing. I wish I could be a golf ball diver that would be so fun. You could swim all day and get paid. And the bounty hunter wow. Thats a lot of money for a dangerous job. I mite be one if the risks were lower. Also I thought you needed to be something like a doctor or something else in the medical field to get good money, apparently not. Thanks for all this great information.

This article made me think twice about what kind of jobs I think made a lot of money! People could make a job out of anything and still get paid very decently. I had no idea that as a court reporter you can be your own boss and decide your own hours. You also don't need any degrees or any college education. Also, as a crab catcher, you only have to work 3 months out of the year and still be financially supported for the other 9 months. I had no idea that a greeting card writer even existed! This is very exciting news for people who can come up with clever ideas and sayings daily. Who knew you could make a living out of these simple tasks?

I really loved this article because I never really knew that there are some odd jobs that pay that much money.Like the golf ball diver. Who knew you could get paid so much just to dive after golf balls? Then again there's the risk of your scuba equipment malfunctioning or something. But I guess all jobs have their risk. A couple of the jobs sounded really interesting to me like the Pet Psychologist and the Greeting Card writer. There are some other jobs that never occurred to me to be actual jobs! Like the odor judger! Weird, but high paying.

I thought this article was awsome. I had know idea that those jobs even existed, like a golf ball diver i thought they just left the balls in there. And even all those jobs are awsome; they also pay well. When i grow up i hope i get one of these high paid awsome jobs
I found this article very intruiging. It was interesting to think about all these odd jobs paying so well, because when one normally thinks of a bad or odd job, they jump right to crappy pay. But man do those jobs rake in the dough! I think it would be fun to oversee a mining corporation in Australia! I feel bad for crab catchers out in the cold :( and bounty hunters getting possibly beat up :( but I love shiny things like gems so being a mining boss would be fun!!! :)

Alright I thought this article was interesting I didn't know that diving for golf balls or typing would get you lots more money then the average worker in some cases.
I learned that there are many unusual yet dangerous jobs that people accept/take so that we can live easier or so that we don't have to take those on.
Question.? Is an ice road trucker an unusual job.?
This article was really cool but suprising in a wierd way that all of those jobs earn such a great pay. I think that it is kindof unfair that all of those jobs earn such a great pay than lots of others that actually have a better use of something. what it said at the very first the armpit sniffing job; i would never do that, that is just gross.

This article was very interesting because it really opens your mind to all of the different occupational areas. You really dont realize that these jobs, that no one would ever stop to think of, are important to us in one way or another. You don't have to be the regular accountant or athlete, but you could choose something a little out of the ordinary.
when is this due?
