I think he was serious. When you say they're the "type of jobs where you work in harsh conditions but these jobs are extremely well paid", it doesn't leave us much else to think about. Do you mean trades, working at certain area's, or what?

One well paid job would be on the oil rigs, but they'd be 2 week on, 2 week off, working 14 days straight, each day being a 12 hour day. Sure, the pay is good, but it has to be.

Then, you get some jobs that are clearly f*cking insane(check out "Deadliest Catch" on the Discovery Channel, for example), but it draws a certain type of person to it, so a bit more info on what type of job, and what area of the world you want to work in, would enable us to give you info.

Oh, yes well I mean jobs like working on oil rigs and yes some of the more "insane" ones, underground work etc... I will consider anywhere in the world that offers this type of employment. Basically, im dont have a definate type of job im looking for, just want someone to point me in the right direction.... who to talk to etc...

What are you qualified in? For example, if it electronics, you could do the oil rigs, etc.

Also, there's dangerous, and then there's stupid. Dangerous would be in a safe country (example: Norway), whereas stupid would be in a contry where gangs are taking people hostage from oil-rigs quite often.

Also, what's your dream job?

Finally, congrats on having to balls to f*ck off to some odd part of the world for sh|t and giggles (and earn a nice wage).

Travel for london pay good money to people working the underground systems. A clearner gets something along the lines of 30k sterling. They also do a lot of night time construction / repair work. No idea what that pays but has to be more then 30k
