Contrary to what some might make you believe, a corporate career in a skyrise

tower isn’t what everyone dreams of. Indeed, a lot of people would prefer an easy,
carefree, low-stress and lucrative job that doesn’t involve an office cubicle.   Here
are some of the easiest and highest-paying jobs you could do!

1. Cruise ship entertainer

Average hourly rate: $35.22

 In the simplest of terms, cruise ship entertainers get paid to go on

cruises. Of course, these are expected to entertain guests during
specific times, but they have the rest of the day to themselves to
lounge by the pool or do whatever else takes their fancy. Best of all,
their meals, accommodation and travel expenses are usually
covered by the cruise line!

2. Editorial analyst
Average hourly rate: $33.61

It’s a dream job for many. Editorial analysts get paid to watch original
Netflix productions for about 20 hours a week, while they tag, rate,
annotate and analyse movie and TV content for Netflix original
catalogues.
3. Voice actor
Average hourly rate: $28.50

 Voice actors are exactly what they sound like: they read scripts (from
films to commercials and video games to audiobooks) aloud and get
paid for it. Of course, voice acting does require skill and certain
dramatic techniques, but it can also be a pretty stress-free job that
you can do from the comfort of your home recording studio.

4. Video game tester

Average hourly rate: $13.37
 As they are video game fanatics, testers of video games getting paid to
play video games is the ultimate next-level job. Many people think that
video game testers just spend their days leisurely playing video games
all day – well, sort of. In reality, they test new games before they hit the
market, checking for any glitches in the system.
