Other than embalmers being on both lists?
Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That first list is just unusual, no? With possibly but unlikely high pay for some.

Because books.
Embalmer's pay isn't great, but I bet it's a really low-stress job if you're cut out for it. When I was in upstate NY, I ran into a lot of people who were going to a college up there for funeral directors.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
If "less than 50,000" is the threshhold for surprisingly low-paying, then most of the surprisingly high-paying list...isn't.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I don't think you have the qualifying degree, which is another reason the list is weird. If I'm a scientist with a BSc, is 50k *surprisingly* *high*? Genetic counsellor is going to require a bachelor's as well. Also, I remain unstunned at the idea of a hot dog vendor making $30K, or a body part model making $20 for an afternoon, at least unless they mean low. I hope you get expenses, at least.
If $45k is objectively low in the second article, I don't see how some of the salaries in the first are high, even surprisingly so.
And the embalmer thing makes zero sense.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Jesse, my stretch teacher has us do isolation exercises with the torso, hips, etc. I find it surprisingly difficult.

I had trouble isolating body parts for movement when I tried belly dance, but I'm not great at isolating them in most other situations so I don't think belly dance was particularly unique there.

I've got a doctorate and I'm making less than that.
Grrr, that's just wrong. You are NTT, aren't you?
