With inflation reaching record highs, and economic crisis looming above us, our lives are getting tighter. Most people are already feeling it: from increased rent and ridiculous gas prices, to things many people took for granted, like morning frappuccinos and sushi takeaways, now becoming luxuries.

So when every little penny counts, you gotta hustle. In order to get us all some ideas how to survive in this gloomy economy, we looked at these two illuminating Reddit threads (this and this). People are sharing overlooked yet well (some unexpectedly!) paying jobs that desperately need workers right now, so it may give you some ideas for money-making career prospects.

Psst! After you’re done, be sure to check out our previous article about the easiest legal ways to make money on the side!

30 People Share What Great-Paying Jobs Are Often Overlooked Self employed cleaning services (i dont know exaclty what to call it)

My parents started getting paid $35 an hour cleaning a community center to ~$50 from cleaning offices.

My mom started it then my dad joined in to help her with the hours and taking care of the house and kids.

Eventually my mom got good contacts, and started cleaning the offices of managers from factories, Sacramento politicians, and stuff alike.

Can't express how proud i am of my mom. She turned all those shitty Hispanic cleaning lady jokes into something brag worthy.

If you've ever wondered what are the highest-paying jobs out there in this crazy job market right now, pull your seat closer.

According to recently updated data shared by Indeed, the top 3 best-paid jobs are as follows: cardiologist with a national average salary of $351,827 per year, anesthesiologist with $326,296 per year and an orthodontist with $264,850 per year. Understandably, these jobs are not something you can easily swap your career for and require years of preparation.

30 People Share What Great-Paying Jobs Are Often Overlooked I’m a gardener. There’s a serious lack of folks willing to do manual labour in the outdoors year-round. Most commercial properties have to maintain a certain amount of green area in our city. Hospitals and other places like that need legitimate crews to do the work with professionalism (no cat calling or spitting or swearing etc) including bonded employees and good insurance and equipment etc.
As a result we are in demand and we get paid surprisingly well. No university education needed, low barrier to entry, great pay and job security.

30 People Share What Great-Paying Jobs Are Often Overlooked I'm a petsitter & I make pretty good cash from it during the busy times (summer & holidays) for very little effort in some cases. I've been doing it for a few years now & after busting my a*s & whoring my time out to clients & their critters I've built a great client base and can relax a bit now. Of course I work a full time job too, petsitting isn't steady enough to rely on but I can make an extra $5-600 a month when it's busy. It gets hectic figuring out the timing between the two jobs sometimes but it's so worth it. I'm currently petsitting for a week, $245 to hang out with two adorable dogs, eat their food, drink the wine they bought me, and relax. I love what I do.

The third most in-demand career right now is realtor. Realtors play an integral role in helping people to buy and sell property. There has been an incredible 138% increase in job postings for realtors since 2015, which should be surprising considering the booming real estate market. Although most realtors work on a commission basis, the average salary earned is around $96,820, Indeed states.

30 People Share What Great-Paying Jobs Are Often Overlooked Dog groomer. It’s a weird industry, though, and a skill that really has to be learned hands-on (grooming schools can be a good start, but I know great groomers that never went to school for it, and terrible groomers that spent thousands on classes). Just being good at handling dogs is the best foundation for success.

It’s not the easiest job in the world. It’s largely commission-based, and you’re lucky if you get any benefits out of it, but if you get enough practice in to be good at it and build up a loyal clientele base in a decently affluent area, it’s good money. The haircuts I do range from $70-$175, and I’m paid 50%, which averages out to around $30-$35 an hour most days. Not everyone tips, but those that do usually tip $5-$20 per dog, and because I do about 40 dogs in an average week, that’s an extra couple hundred in my pocket.

So if you don’t mind working on your feet all day, sustaining repetitive motion injuries, not taking lunch breaks, dealing with insane customers, and picking s**t off dog buttholes, it’s a good living.

A girl I dated many years ago I met because she was living in my town training to be an airline dispatcher. There are just a handful of schools that teach it.

I had no idea what an airline dispatcher was, let alone how much money they get paid. Dispatchers at FedEX can make $150,000 per year or more. It also gives you a lot of options to advance at an airline, like being station chief at an airline.

The girl I dated had a dream to one day be Air France Station Chief in Tahiti. I don't know if she made it or not.

Autopsy tech. I started out making $15 an hour in Illinois. Just need a high school diploma and the ability to not puke at the sight of blood and guts. I loved that job, only left because I needed surgery on my knee. I'd totally still be doing that if I lived in a town with a morgue now, but I live in the Alaskan bush. Anybody needing an autopsy just gets sent to Anchorage.

Addendum; to everyone bitching about $15 an hour being nothing, this was in 2009. Yeah it probably isn't enough to have a family on but I was a 19 year old and it was my first job.

Sales.

My last sales job I was selling flooring. It took me about an hour to an hour and a half measuring each room and hallway. Talk with the homeowner to know what they want. We offered financing for everyone. All my leads were red hot, so everyone I was scheduled to meet with was ready to buy that day. Each sale was $5,000 and up. I had sales of over $20,000 and my commission check was anywhere from 5 to 25% of that sale. I even had up to five scheduled appointments a day. I have had days where I made three sales with an average commission of $500 each.

Redbubble. There’s probably a saying floating out there that goes “wherever there are gullible people, there is profit”. If not, then I just coined it. I’ve been putting memes on redbubble and I’m making $200-400 every month. I literally do nothing besides laughing at memes, putting them on a website, and waiting for people to buy it. This much money is enough for groceries or going out with the lads monthly.

Military officer. You'll never be rich, but I was way better off than my civilian peers in our 20s. Also medical benefits, and retirement after 20 years. Pay scales are online.

Teaching Assistant


I was paid surprisingly well for about 10 hours of work a week. Plus they covered my tuition and gave me better dental insurance than the rest of my family
