I make £780k a YEAR in bizarre role you’ve probably never heard of… you can too & you don’t need a degree
A SAVVY entrepreneur has revealed he earns a staggering £865k a year doing a job few people are aware of – and you don’t need a degree for it.
Glenn Berger, from Florida, was unemployed before he discovered a lucrative – and dangerous – way to carve out a career.
The entrepreneur makes a living diving for golf balls and selling them on.
During his bizarre career, Glenn has fished out tables, golf carts and lawn mowers as well as numerous stray balls on a number of golf courses across the sunshine state.
After selling each of the 1.3 to 1.7 million balls scooped out from bodies of water at a minimum of 80p ($1) a ball – Glenn claims to have banked around £12million ($15million) – that’s a remarkable £865k ($1million) annually.
He said: “I was partially unemployed and I was stealing golf balls out of a golf course lake where I lived and I realised that wasn’t the way to make money… this business just blew up”.
Golf balls become waterlogged – and therefore useless – after a brief spell underwater.
But that hasn’t stopped driving ranges from putting hand in pocket for the thousands of balls collected daily by Glenn.
While it may appear to be an appealing pursuit, Glenn reveals that the job is not without its risks – particularly when it comes to hairy underwater encounters.
He continued: “I really don’t like to talk about alligators but they happen and you learn how to deal with them.
“Scuba diving is a dangerous sport as it is.
“People can usually see. I can’t see.
“So I have fish, snakes, turtles and all those fun things running into me all the time.”
One spine-tingling case saw Glenn navigate removing a 2m long alligator from his back – remarkably escaping the scare injury-free.
It comes after a former Tesco worker quit her job stacking shelves to create content using AI technology – and now rakes in a whopping £30k every week.
Elsewhere, a former barista revealed how she makes an extra £7k a month by re-enacting scenes from her old job.
