7. Commercial Diver
Commercial divers have adapted themselves to performing various tasks under water. These professionals can work with scientists, assist in conservation efforts, gather information about a structure, or preform various repairs on items in underwater environments.
The scope and intensity of these jobs depends upon who the diver is working with and what their specific job target may be. The Bureau of Labor Statistics notes that the average wage for a commercial diver is around $22 per hour with the high end of pay being closer to $40 per hour.
The dangers involved with this job include injury, loss of oxygen or suffocation, losing consciousness, becoming trapped or snarled in equipment, being attacked by sea life or a wide range of other risk factors. Commercial diving may be a unique experience, but it is not a career to pursue lightly.
