Are you Looking for a well-paid job? Everybody wants to be successful: management, owning your own business, or a promotion at work<\/a><\/strong>. But before you get there, you have to do the tough work. That\u2019s why, if you\u2019re out of work, finding the jobs that no one else wants to do, is the perfect place to start.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s by far the easiest way to get a job when you\u2019re unemployed. There\u2019s less competition for each role, which means you\u2019re far more likely to be on the employer\u2019s shortlist if you apply. And by showing real enthusiasm for a hard or unpleasant job, it shows character.<\/p>\n

So, which jobs are a good choice? There are dozens of opportunities. But what you might not know is that there are some high-paying jobs<\/a><\/strong> for you out there, too.<\/p>\n

Jobs No One Else Wants to Do<\/h2>\n

We\u2019ve found fifteen jobs that no one wants to do but pay well. These are high-paying jobs no one wants: they might be difficult, or they might be unpleasant, but you can earn a good living from them. And <\/em>they\u2019re an excellent starting point for getting back into employment.<\/p>\n

1) Toll Booth Worker<\/h3>\n

Being a toll booth worker isn\u2019t necessarily dirty or difficult. More than anything, you could call it dull. If you work on a busy road, you\u2019ll be collecting and handing out change non-stop, all day. If you work somewhere quiet, there might be nothing to do for the majority of the day.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve never worked a tedious job before, it\u2019s surprisingly hard. Maintaining concentration is a challenge. The biggest issue with working in a toll booth, though, is dealing with the occasional angry motorist. That\u2019s especially the case if they don\u2019t have the right change.<\/p>\n

Because of the nature of the job, you don\u2019t need qualifications. You don\u2019t even necessarily need experience, so long as you show competence. Basic numeracy skills wouldn\u2019t go amiss since you\u2019ll be counting change all day. But apart from being able to count money correctly, and the ability to withstand day after day of complete boredom, you don\u2019t need much to be successful.<\/p>\n

How Much Does It Pay?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Wages vary, but working in a toll booth is one of the highest paid unskilled jobs in America. The good thing about working in a toll booth is that you\u2019ll have plenty of opportunities to work overtime.<\/p>\n

New York Up State<\/strong><\/a> covered a story about how two toll booth workers earned over $100,000\u00a0through overtime earnings. Their base salary was already north of $50k. But by working over 60 hours a week\u2014double shifts of 16 hours\u2014they doubled their salary.<\/p>\n
