Other obscure jobs out there?

[ed8383]

I know someone who is planning on working in alaska for a couple of months on a boat to fish. He will make around 25k and will get free housing/meals etc. Im just wondering if there are any other of these obscure jobs not many know about out where you get good money/free housing and meals, but you basically work every day for long hours in a not so nice job (often times dangerous). Please don't mention driving trucks in iraq or military.
