BuzzFeed asked readers who have surprisingly well-paid jobs to share what they do and how much they make and some of these may have you considering changing careers.

  • "Grocery store manager. We typically make close to six figures before bonuses!"
  • "I’m a portfolio manager for HOAs and condominiums, and I make $94k a year. I’ve got the flexibility to work remotely, and it’s a great company."

  • "I'm an account executive for a manufacturing company. Essentially inside sales, no cold calling thankfully. My base salary is $78k with bonus potential max at $104k. Monday through Friday, 9–5, no overtime, and I get the week after Christmas off."
  • "I’m a closer for a supermarket warehouse. Basically, my job is to make sure that everything is loaded in the trailer, then I close it, seal it, and send it on its way. I work about 50 hours a week, and between my base pay, overtime, and bonuses, I should clear $90k this year."
