Does your money jiggle jiggle or fold, pandas? We all hope for it to be the latter, don’t we?
Well, these Redditors most definitely belong to the folding club, as they claim to be earning over $10K a month. Recently, they shared the jobs that help them bring in that kind of income. And no, it’s not just the usual suspects like software engineers or doctors—there are plenty of surprising professions in the mix, including crane operators, dog groomers, train conductors, and *checks notes* companions for Korean women.
If you’re curious to see what other careers rake in the big bucks, keep scrolling for the full list below!

Emergency medicine PA.
I do a lot of suturing and pull a lot of things out of people's butts because everyone slipped while naked getting out of the shower.

I take 35-50 year old Korean women on dates to provide companionship. 99% of them are extremely wealthy and usually divorced. Also get some expensive gifts as extra perks.
No I do not sleep with them. 🙃.

$14,000/month. Retired! Pension 1 - Navy. Pension 2 - Teacher. Pension 3 - Social Security.
Edit 1: In “retirement” I also help out an undertaker friend with deceased removals, funerals, etc. I’m very active in the community. Every dime of what I make there goes to charity.
Edit 2: Thank you to the 95% of kind responders. The other 5% of haters (a) don’t know me as a person with their snarky comments, and (b) don’t realize, nor perhaps should they, that I donate/give away over half of what I earn in retirement each month to charity, tuition for poor kids, or others in need. I didn’t come from money, but through hard work, luck, and perseverance I made something of myself. When I was young and struggling, I vowed that if I ever had the means, I’d help at least one youngster succeed in life who had nothing. I did that in spades, and now it gives me purpose in life to help others less fortunate.

It’s important to surround yourself with successful people. They dont have to be like minded, it’s even better to not have like minded people around. It gives you different prospectives. A older more wiser mentor will save you a lot of headaches. When you stop learning, you start dying. Stay humble.

Project Manager. When I work 40 hrs a week or less it’s worth it, when I’m working 70+ I want to jump off a bridge. The work is not fulfilling but I’m glad to pay the bills.
