This person assists performers with quick costume changes. It requires basic training and is entry-level.  

Airplane Painter 

Average annual salary: $39,343

Braille Proofreader 

Average annual salary: $40,000 

Braille proofreaders check for any errors in a text so that blind readers can get the information they need.

Marijuana Extractor
