The Best Low Effort Jobs That Have the Highest Salaries, According to People on Reddit

If there's one thing that most employees would like out of their job, it's to be paid more. The costs of living keep on rising while a lot of salaries end up standing still. It can feel like the easiest way out of this predicament would be to find a role that has a handsome wage packet no matter what happens.

This is easier said than done, especially when you have the kind of skill set that doesn't usually get rewarded with a lot of money. Also, a lot of the roles that pay a big chunk of change can be pretty stressful. This conundrum is behind one Redditor asking the world about the kind of jobs that are at the mythical intersection of low effort and well paid. People gave some intriguing examples, although most did have some kind of catch. There are worse ways to make a living than these.
