If you’re willing to get shot at—and potentially thrown into a foreign prison—then this job is for you. Aircraft repossessors can earn commissions equal to 6 to 10 percent of the resale price of a plane, which means seizing an aircraft worth millions of dollars can bring in about $900,000.

Well, a suspect who skips out on $100,000 bail could net a bounty hunter $10,000 to $20,000 upon his or her return. Find out the bizarre jobs that don't exist in America.
