Gastroenterologist
After at least nine years of school, this job needs to pay very well. While most patients are squirmy just thinking about it, a GI doctor treats some of the most uncomfortable and embarrassing ailments. This is the doctor to see when the digestive tract is all clogged and over-the-counter meds don’t help.
Average salary: $300,000+

This job featured on “Dirty Jobs” was dangerous and a bit messy. Not a job for a family man unless he just likes to spend weeks away from his loved ones out in the middle of the ocean.
Average salary: $42,000
