I do a job no one wants but I earn in a day what most people make in a week – and you don’t need a degree
A FORMER Love Island contestant has revealed the job he does that most normal people would never do – and it doesn’t require a degree.
Jordan Dowsett wakes up at 4.30am each day to work a 12 hour shift, but says the fear of missing out is worth it for the hefty paycheck.
Jordan works as a mine electrician – meaning he spends more than 12 hours below ground per day.
But the gruelling schedule is worth it, as the average entry level position earns £35 per hour – which adds up to over £80,000 per year.
His company also provides a huge variety of free food for their workers, which Jordan showed off in his TikTok.
After waking up, Jordan hits the breakfast banquet provided for the workers.
“Look at the options I get – fruit, yoghurt, cereal, bread, muffins, you name it, hot food, porridge, it’s all there,” he explains as he shows the array of food on offer.
He boards a bus to the worksite at 5.30am, takes lunch at noon, finishes work by 6.30pm and still has time for a workout before bed.
Jordan explained: “Love the gym here because no one comes here so I’ve got the whole place to myself.
“I smash out a workout for about an hour, that gets me to 7.30pm when I have some dinner.”
After a long day’s work, Jordan goes to sleep around 8.30pm and is ready to repeat the day again.
Viewers of Jordan’s video explaining his job were floored by the food spread and his salary.
One said: “I’m envy the late wake-up’s and how good your mess is. Never been any mining sites this nice!”
Another commented: “You’re lucky to get a good job!”
Another job is offering a six-figure salary with perks of a room in a luxury resort with a cinema and Olympic pool – but you need to be willing to get dirty.
The caveat is, workers must be prepared to get down and dirty as the work is mining – is situated in the red-dirt Pilbara region.
The luxury accommodation village will be built at the Onslow iron ore project, about 855 miles north of Perth.
However, with the lowest pay ranked jobs such as machine operators offering £70,000 (AUD $129,000) salaries, a trip to the outback seems pretty reasonable.
The common eating area also looks akin to an up-market London restaurant in Mayfair.
