Unusual Jobs That Actually Pay Well

14. Master Sommelier

Wine is serious business. You might be able to get by on a box of wine, but when you realize that others are willing to pay thousands of dollars for a single bottle, then you can understand why the industry creates so many jobs.

One of the most unique options is the sommelier, who is in charge of informing people which wines pair best with their chosen meal. It requires a great deal of expertise, and the ability to work around wine all day without drinking too much. Master these skills and you can make $80,000 a year as a master sommelier.
