10大有趣又有好薪水的工作

工作的满意度可以用许多方法衡量，比如收入，工作保障，职业发展和工作生活平衡度。根据国家科学院一项最新的研究，年收入在7万五千美金时人们感觉最幸福，即使有一份给你这样薪水的工作，仍不能保证你会愉快的工作。 But a fun job that you can look forward to going to every day, that's a job everyone wants. The "funnest" job may not necessarily equate to the most satisfying — a recent survey by CareerBliss found that Disney theme park workers rank lower than members of the Army when it comes job satisfaction.       但有一份能让你每天期待去上班的有趣工作是每个人的向往。最“有趣的”工作可能并不一定等于最满意的工作。CareerBliss（职业幸福）最近的一项调查发现，在职业满意度排名上，军人的排名高于迪斯尼主题公园员工。
But if you're looking for fun and a chance to make some good money — both of which we hope will lead to job satisfaction — here are 10 jobs worth considering. Our list isn't based on a survey, but on unscientific criteria that includes job satisfaction, having fun at work, independence and a good work environment.      可如果你想在拥有乐趣的同时，还有好的收入，对工作感到满足，以下是10个可供参考的职业。我们是依据职业满意度，寓工作于乐，独立性和良好的工作环境这些并不科学的标准列出的这份名单。
Ferrari driving instructor法拉利驾驶教练
Annual salary: $120,000年薪：12万美金
Yes, it's a niche, but that's why it pays so well and is so much fun. Anthony Lazzaro, a former NASCAR driver who still races professionally, earns $500 to $1,000 a day as a Ferrari instructor, he told WalletPop in an e-mail. Even at the low end, that adds up to $120,000 for 12 months of work.       没错，这个很小众，也正因如此才会有不错的薪水，而且非常有趣。Anthony Lazzaro曾是美国国家赛车联合会的车手，现在还参加职业比赛。他在给WalletPop的邮件中说，当法拉利驾驶教练可以每天挣500至1000美金，即使不是好年景，12个月的工资加起来也到12万美金。
The classes can cost $9,000 or so, and if you can't afford that and still want to see and hear what it's like to be in a Ferrari at 150 mph, a YouTube video gives an idea. The classes, whether through him or someone else, are not for the meek.        上这样的课程要花差不多9000美元，如果你承受不了如此高额的学费却仍旧想知道驾驶法拉利到每小时150英里是什么滋味，就上Youtube找找吧。无论是Anthony或者其他人当教练，他们的课都不适合个性温和的人。
Astronaut 宇航员
Annual salary: $100,000年薪：10万美金
What could be more fun than floating in space? According to NASA, salaries for civilian astronaut candidates are based on the federal government's general schedule pay scale for grades GS-12 through GS-13. Each person's grade is determined by academic achievements and experience. Currently, a GS-12 starts at $65,140 per year and a GS-13 can earn up to $100,701 per year. Military astronauts remain in an active duty status for pay, benefits, leave, and other similar military matters.       还有什么比漂浮在太空中更有趣呢？美国宇航局根据联邦政府一般俸表（美国联邦政府公职人员适用的待遇标准）的第12-13级标准付给民间航天员候选者薪资。由个人的学术成就和经验决定级别。现在，一般俸表第12级标准最低为每年6万5千1百40美元（还有整有零的），第13级标准最高能到每年10万零7百零1美元。军方航天员仍适用军队在薪酬、休假等相关方面的标准。
Any adult who is in excellent physical condition and meets the basic qualifications can be selected to enter astronaut training. But for mission specialists and pilot astronauts, the minimum requirements include a bachelor's degree in engineering, science or math, followed by three years of related experience and preferably an advanced degree. Pilot astronauts must have at least 1,000 hours of experience in jet aircraft, and they need better vision than mission specialists.       每一个身体健康且符合基本要求的成年人都能参选进入宇航员培训。但对于任务专家（执行美国宇航局飞行任务的特定宇航员的职位）和飞行员宇航员的最低要求为：拥有工程、科学或数学的学士学位，最好有本科以上学历，三年相关工作经验。飞行员宇航员必须有至少1千小时的喷气式飞机工作经验，对视力的要求也比任务专家要高。（宇航员培训中心的学员共分成四类：第一类是飞行员宇航员(Pilot Astronauts)，结业后分发为太空任务的驾驶或指挥官；第二类叫任务专家(Mission Specialist Astronauts)，他们在指挥官的领导之下，协调舱内作业，或从事科学实验，或到舱外作太空漫步）
It's a tough field to get into. There are more than 4,000 applicants for about 20 openings every two years. But go ahead, fill out an application.       这个领域不好进。每两年招20人，却有4000人应征。但别退缩，填张申请表吧！
Winemaker 酿酒师
Annual salary: $93,000 per year 年薪：9万3千美金
You don't have to buy a vineyard to be a vintner or winemaker. Many wineries hire someone to run the winemaking business and oversee production, the staff and the budget.      你不必非要拥有葡萄园才能成为葡萄酒商或酿酒师。许多酿酒厂雇佣专人管理酿酒生意、海外产品、员工和预算。
According to JobMonkey.com, the general requirements include a bachelor's degree in oenology (the study of making wine) or another related degree, at least five years experience in winemaking, a strong knowledge of the pertinent grape varietals, and strong technical winemaking skills. It may take awhile to get such a fun job, but taking good wine home to taste after work sounds like a pretty nice job perk.       JobMonkey网站给出了成为酿酒师的一般要求包括：酒类学或其他相关专业的本科学历，五年以上在酿酒领域的经验，有关葡萄品种方面的丰富知识，以及很好的酿酒技术。也许你需要花些时间才能拥有这份充满乐趣的工作，但在工作之余能把好酒带回家品尝听起来是个不错的额外优待。 Chocolatier 巧克力商
Annual salary: $90,000 年薪：9万美金
This job might be too much fun if you love chocolate. As anyone who has worked at an ice cream store can tell you, you get tired of ice cream after working with it for eight hours a day. The same might be true for chocolate, but it's a chance we're willing to take.        如果你喜欢巧克力，那这份工作实在是完美！任何一个曾在冰淇淋店工作过的人都能告诉你，在每天和冰淇淋共处八小时之后你会厌倦冰淇淋。这个道理很可能对巧克力也适用，但我们乐意试一试。
A top chocolatier — who makes or sells chocolate — can earn $90,000 to $100,000 per year at Godiva. The average annual salary for all chocolatiers is $21,000, so you'll have to be at the top of the profession to earn the big bucks. But if you've worked as a marketing or product development manager, you could still find jobs at chocolate companies and make $100,000 or more per year, and probably still get some free premium chocolate to take home. Or eat at your desk. Your choice.      顶级的巧克力商，无论是制作或是销售巧克力，在Godiva（巧克力品牌）每年能挣9万至10万美金。所有巧克力商的年平均收入为2万1千美金，因此只有站在行业的顶端才能挣大钱。但如果你曾经做过销售或产品开发经理，你依然可以在巧克力企业找到工作，拿10万美金甚至更高的年薪。还很有可能不花钱就把优质的巧克力带回家，至少在办公桌就能品尝它们。由你自己决定吧！
Pilot 飞行员
Annual salary: $81,000 年薪：8万1千美金
Being an airline pilot can be a stressful job, but it must be a fun one. Why? They get to fly a plane. Duh. Who wouldn't want to fly a plane, travel the world for free and make good money while doing something few people can do? The average pay is $81,000, according to Indeed.com.       民航飞行员的工作可能比较有压力，但肯定是有趣的一种。为什么呢？他们驾驶飞机。这不是废话么。谁不想开着飞机，满世界免费旅行，拿着不错的薪水，从事着少数人才能干的工作呢？ 根据Indeed网站，飞行员的平均工资是8万1千美金。
Magician 魔术师
Annual salary: $49,000 年薪：4万9千美金
Entertaining people — by making them laugh or be amazed — pays well for magician Mitch Williams, who told WalletPop that he earns $400 to $3,000 per job, depending on the type of program he's doing, location, date and other factors. The median salary for a magician is $49,000 per year, according to a career website.       娱乐大众——逗大家笑或者让人感到惊奇——报酬也不错。魔术师Mitch Williams告诉WalletPop，每个演出他挣4百至3千美金，取决于表演的种类，地点，日期等因素。根据职业网站，魔术师的平均年薪是4万9千美元。
"I get to create my own shows, and perform them for a variety of different groups," Williams said in an e-mail. "It's such a blast seeing and hearing people respond to what I do. I'm an international award winner, and I'm known as an expert at sleight of hand and an authority on approaching magic as an actual art form. So the magic I do is somewhat unique and fairly impressive (even if I do say so myself.) It's a thrill to be able to get people caught up in the experience of wonder. And of course the real magic is that experience that we create together; performer and audience."      “我为自己创作节目，为不同的观众表演，”Williams在邮件中写到。“听到观众们为我的表演叫好这种感觉太赞了。我赢得过国际比赛，大家都知道我是变戏法的专家，也是最能将魔术当作真正艺术的权威。因此，我表演的魔术有些独特而且令人难忘（我就自卖自夸了）。使观众陷入奇妙的感觉实在令人兴奋。当然，真正的魔术表演效果是表演者与观众一同创造的。”
Park ranger 公园守护人
Annual salary: $47,000 年薪：4万7千美金
Most government workers are happy with their jobs, according to a recent survey, mostly because they feel the work they do is important. A park ranger's work is important, and the work environment should only add to having fun on the job. Because most park ranger jobs are federal jobs, they're paid on a pay scale. Non-supervisory park rangers earn $47,448 per year, and supervisors earn $57,408 or more.       一项最近的调查显示，大部分的公职人员对自己的工作感到高兴，主要原因是他们体会到自己工作的重要性。公园守护人的工作很重要，他们的工作环境又为这份工作增添了乐趣。因为大部分公园守护的工作属于联邦政府职位，根据薪资范围支付工资。非主管的公园守护人每年挣4万7千4百4十8美元，主管挣5万7千4百零8美元或者更高。
Video game designer
电子游戏设计师
Annual salary: $46,000
年薪：4万6千美金
Playing video games is fun, but creating them from your imagination could be much more fun. A degree in graphic design will help you get the job. Pay averages $46,000 a year for someone with less than three years of experience, going up to $70,000 a year with more than six years of experience.

Florist
花商
Annual salary: $25,000
年薪：2万5千美金
We know that's not a lot a money, but working around flowers all day — the smell, the beauty — at least sounds like a fun job. And the pay can go higher than the $25,000 median — to about $45,000 with 10 to 19 years of experience.
这钱确实不算多，但每日工作与花为伴，花的芳香，花的美丽，至少让这份工作听起来充满乐趣。2万5千美金是中等收入，有了10年至19年的工作经验，每年能挣4万5千美金。
Standup comedian
单口喜剧演员

这是个很难打入的演出市场，但让观众开怀大笑既有趣又收入可观。Dan Nainan 一场秀能挣1万5千美金，在Apple商业的每日电影中担任演员挣2万2千美元。

"Since I fly almost 200,000 miles a year, I get upgraded to first class on every flight, and have a free lounge membership. My life is like that of George Clooney in "Up in the Air", just without the sex LOL."
“我能在别人没空的时候环游世界，迪拜，荷兰，东京，阿鲁巴，墨西哥都只是我到过地方的一小部分，我（在十一月）将展开英国之行，十二月在泰国，明年三月去特立尼达，”他告诉WalletPop，“由于每年几乎要飞20万英里，每次都能享受升至头等舱和免费托运行李的优待。我的生活很像乔治·克鲁尼的电影《在云端》，只可惜没那样的艳遇，哈哈！”
If you're really good as a standup comedian, it can lead to making millions of dollars, which sounds pretty fun.
如果你是非常出色的单口喜剧声演员，你的收入能达到几百万美金，这听起来很让人高兴！
