11 Weird Jobs that Make Over $100000 a Year

10. Stunt Performer

In order to earn $100,000 a year as a stunt performer, you really have to be good at what you do. Top notch stuntmen can earn as much as $800 a day, but getting steady jobs can be difficult in Hollywood, with thousands of people aiming for the same spot. Just like any other movie industry job, it is highly competitive, not to mention outright dangerous. There are plenty of stories about stuntmen and stuntwomen who have become crippled due to some freak accident or a stunt gone wrong while on set. If anything, they should get paid far more, but stiff competition has kept the wages rather low, one of many joys of our capitalistic society.
