Elevator Mechanic
The highest paid odd jobs list is taking us in a different direction from the previous, but stays in the mechanical department.
Despite you never see them and they assure that you always get from the first floor to the last one, the elevator mechanics are paid with a high salary than most of the jobs.
With an average range of $70,000 to $80,000 the elevator mechanic doesn’t have a hard job and him the basics are apprentice learned, not school taught.
From maintenance to repairing and installing elevators, their job’s make our life easier, not having to climb many stairs to the 27th floor for example.
Odd because it is mechanically based but not at a level where you need more than your high school diploma and you don’t do courses or specific training, just watch and learn from others how it’s done, they say.
In fact, this is engineering at another level, you thought that this was simple, can you imagine the pressure of having to deal with so many people who use the machines they have to maintain.
