Not just that they top the list of bizarre jobs, but they rake in serious cash while doing it.

With the economy tanking, prices surging, and rent so high it's kidney sale season, maybe it's time for a job upgrade.

That's why on today's Infographics Show, we're telling you about the 25 jobs you won't believe pay this much.

Ethical Hacker Big companies often have terrible cyber security.

Seriously, it is laughable at times.

They pay ethical hackers to hack information and security systems to find the weak spots, and it's usually too easy.

These legal hackers start at a salary of around $106,000.

Experienced hackers can make up to $200,000 a year.

Not a nerd?

Time to become one.

Learn some programming, dive into computer systems, get certified, and you're good to go.

Parts Model Has anyone told you that you have really pretty feet?

If you're on social media, odds are at least one stranger has.

Usually they're wearing fedoras.

People with good feet, hands, or hair can charge money for it.

Companies like jewelry makers and nail brands want pretty hands to model for them.

Some models can take home $30,000 or so as a side gig.

But the serious hands and feet models can bring home $57,000 to $65,000 a year, all for flexing some fingers and toes.

You can get an even higher salary as a...

23.

Roadkill Cleaner Roadkill cleaner is exactly what it sounds like, clearing dead animals off the road.

It's dirty and depressing work, but the pay isn't.

They make a median salary of $72,000 to $91,461 per year, and depending on where you live – Sitka, Alaska, and many places in Southern California especially – you could be getting over $105,000 a year, just for picking up squashed squirrels.

If you want a happier job with animals, become a...

22.

Hippotherapist Hippotherapists use horses to help improve physical, emotional, and other skills in human patients.

Like art therapy, but instead of crayons, they're using a half-ton animal.

The rhythm of the horse helps children tune into their own movements.

It pays an average of $92,000, so maybe you can even afford a house someday, just like a...

21.

Senior Toy Designer This isn't just a job for Santa's elves.

Entry-level toy designers make less, but the seasoned pro can earn up to $174,000, including bonuses.

Designers come up with concepts for new toys and take them from design to finished product.

It's a pretty fun job, and you will never have to worry about getting kids last-minute gifts again.

Just take something home from the office.

Some well-paid jobs are a bit more depressing, like a...

20.

Bereavement Coordinator Bereavement coordinators in hospitals or hospices help people who have recently lost a loved one.

They offer counseling, support sessions, and organize memorial services, and make sure family and close friends of the recently deceased are healing.

A background in counseling or nursing helps.

The average salary is about $73,000, as it can be a tough job to handle emotionally.

If you'd rather not deal with people, try working in...

19.

Elevator Maintenance Working in elevator maintenance has its ups and downs.

Yeah, we went there.

Average salaries in this field range from $97,000 to $104,000, and it can go up to over $200,000.

You just need a high school diploma and an apprenticeship.

If your state requires a certificate, get one, and you are ready to fix up elevators.

As buildings get taller, demand is going up, so the future is looking elevated.

But what if you live in the countryside?

You can be a...

18.

Deer Urine Farmer Hunters use deer urine to hunt male deer.

Someone has to collect all that pee, so it might as well be you.

A deer urine farmer makes an average of $80,000 to $90,000 a year, and can even earn more.

Female deer pee in graded rooms.

The gold liquid trickles down and you bottle it up for sale.

It's well-paid because, surprisingly, most people don't like being surrounded by bottles of pee.

Well, apart from those fedora guys we mentioned earlier.

To work with animals in a less gross way, be a...

17.

Well, sleepier for cats.

For less interaction with living things, maybe be a...

Dental CAD-CAM Designer If you ever got a crown or a veneer, you've unknowingly worked with a dental CAD-CAM designer.

For a more hands-on medical job, try...

15.

If you want shifts completely up to you, though, try being a...

14.

If you like colors and design, you can also be a...

12.

Color Specialist The salary for a color specialist ranges from just over $65,000 to $105,000.

So what the heck does a color specialist do?

They are experts in the science of art and colors, and work for industries like fashion, marketing, interior design, and graphic design.

The road to becoming one isn't all that clear, but you don't need a degree.

Just an eye for details and classes in color theory, although many specialists do have a background in design, fine arts, and even psychology.

Plus, we assume, great connections.

11.

Master Flavorist Most flavorists make an average of $73,000 a year, creating delicious taste profiles for big food companies, depending on the location.

Master flavorists can make even more.

But if you're picturing a job that is just tasting Oreos all day, think again.

Flavorists are science pros, concocting new flavors in the lab while staying on top of regulations.

Someone needs to make sure your next favorite taste doesn't accidentally cause cancer.

Sounds exhausting, right?

Wouldn't it be nice to just get paid to rest?

Enter...

It can be a lonely life, and most people change careers when they want to start a family.

But if you're ok being away from home, also look at...

7.

Oil Rig Worker Jobs like derrickhands, roustabouts, and roughnecks – we swear they're real job titles – make an average of between $80,000 to $105,000 a year.

They help clean, operate, and repair rigging and drilling equipment.

The schedule is pretty intense – it's two weeks on, two weeks off.

But on the rig, you're working 7 days a week, 12-plus hours a day.

Add in heavy machinery, and it is a risky gig, but the salary helps.

For a safer, high-paying job, try being a...

Professional Cuddler Believe it or not, some people really just want to cuddle.

So they hire professional cuddlers, paying between $40 and $80 an hour.

And $400 for overnight sessions, to hold them.

But in a totally consensual, non-creepy way, we can't stress that enough.

For a lot of people, it's like therapy.

It requires a training course, and you also have to be cool with holding strangers.

But for those who would rather dive into the Arctic Sea than hug someone, this next job might be more your speed.

4.

Crab Fisherman Crab fishermen, or crabbers, work three months out of the year.

They can pull in over $50,000, while a crab boat captain can make over $200,000.

Crab season runs from October to January on the coast of Seattle to Alaska.

Freezing seas, slick decks, and heavy machinery make it treacherous.

Drowning, hypothermia, and serious injuries are real risks.

But if you make it back to dry land, it's a pretty good gig.

Like our next deadly job.

3.

Underwater Welder – Saturation Diving One specialized category of underwater welding is saturation diving, going deep under the sea for days or weeks at a time.

They get depth pay, $1 to $4 per foot underwater.

Workers typically earn over $100,000 per year, going as high as $500,000 for the top-ranked specialists in the world.

Time to get into… 1.

Airplane Repossession When multi-millionaire owners or foreign governments default on luxury jets and commercial planes, someone has to go get them.

Enter Airline Repo Men.

It is a first-class ticket to riches.

How do you get a Boeing 747 back through customs?

With difficulty, and a generous baggage allowance.

Usually this is a job for former pilots.

Side effects include foreign organizations and governments getting very angry at you, resulting in possible imprisonment, threats, shooting, and maybe even worse.

That's why jobs pay anywhere from $20,000 to $3 million per aircraft.

Maybe it's time to get that pilot's license and practice quick getaways from some very angry airport personnel.

Think any of these jobs would spice up your resume?
