6. Pest Control Exterminator
Pest control may not be the most glamorous job, but it provides a unique path to a balanced lifestyle and stable income. As an exterminator, you’ll apply treatments to eliminate pests like insects, rodents, and other unwanted critters from homes and businesses.
While there are certainly busier seasons, most exterminators can maintain very reasonable hours and avoid crazy overtime. Many companies provide flexible scheduling and the freedom to manage your own route.
You get variety going place to place instead of being chained to a desk. And with experience, exterminators can earn a comfortable middle-class salary. It’s not the most prestigious gig, but pest control offers a relatively low-stress way to make ends meet while still having decent personal time.
