stuntman!
My friend from HS does this but he only does it part time - he has another union job that works around his schedule.... I wonder if it's because of pay/benefits or because work isn't that steady?
Anyway, it's a cool job and it's cool to see movies he worked on!
I always wonder if stuntman.....being in their line of work - how hard is it for them to get life insurance? KWIM?
Lol - his other job is fire fighter. I'm thinking life insurance wouldn't be too easy to get so maybe that's why he keeps the FF job...

Re: Jobs you think are neat & wonder about the salary
I've always wondered about the people who are in the circus. I'm also curious what a personal trainer makes. I have no clue and always thought about going into that.

OK don't laugh but Starbucks barista. They always seem to be so happy and seem to love their jobs.
I used to work at starbucks when I was in high school. I think they paid around $8 back in the 90's. Not sure what they pay now.
It seriously was a really fun job. I loved working there.
I would love to work at the travel channel or place like conde nest reviewing travel destinations, restaurants, hotels, and spas.

Someone who is a host on a show like Diners, Drive-ins and Dives. A lot of that food looks so freakin' good. I'd seriously be as big as a house though!

I hear they get paid more than one would think, and have good benefits, but I don't know any details.
Yes! My brothers friend did this while he was in college & got benefits and said the money wad good!
I had a few friends who worked for them. All different positions. Barista, Shift Manager, and Assistant Manager.
The AM made about $35,000 per year.
They tend to have them change stores frequently and you have to move up through all the positions. The shift manager usually gets all the nutty shifts.
They do have benefits and they also have stock purchase plans.
ETA: They are super happy because they are high on caffeine all day!! 
They also get discounts on drinks and products.
I don't know if this is still the case but many many women worked at Starbucks for the benefits because they offered coverage for IVF when most companies don't. I wonder how many Starbucks babies there are out there?!
I would love to be involved in investigating crimes...I find that really interesting

Re: Jobs you think are neat & wonder about the salary
I would love to be the person ( if there is such ) to name things....lipstick and nailpolish colors, cars, street names etc...
Since I was little I was obsessed with baby names (still am ) so would love a "job" like this if it existed !
Also, anything related to forensics...If not for the field I chose, I would have loved to be a detective etc...

I always wanted to work for the Disney company. Not running, "It's a Small World" or anything (although when I was in college I would have thought that was pretty cool) but doing something in the education department or something like that.
A lot of jobs I think are cool involve starting your own business. I love baking so the idea of owning a bakery sounds cool. I love the idea of having a winery too.
I worked in a bakery through college, I did everything in the back from wash dishes to prep work and deliveries. Bakeries are always one of those places that people would love to work at until they actually do. The hours just kick your butt. I loved it at the time though because I could work early and be done early and have the rest of the day to do whatever. It makes having a night life extremely hard though.

I always wondered this too. That & the Starbucks barista previously answered. They do always seem cheerful.

Oooh yes! Event planner.
I was an event planner/manager for years. Depending on the type of events, they hire staff that are in their 20s-30s, pay pretty low ($25-35Kish to start), & you work long hours. I loved the job, met some fascinating people from celebrities to high level politicians but it wasn't good from a long term perspective from me. Flying out to spend a month in a place prepping for a tournament wasn't conducive to having a family. From what I've seen if you own or become an event director, you're making easy six-figures.

It's not a lot. They get paid hourly. A friend of mine did this through college. I know people without masks ( like the princesses) make a bit more than characters with masks, but it's like $8-$12 an hour.
