I went to school with a guy that became an underwater welder. Two things I learned about that job, it’s one of the most dangerous jobs in the world, and it pays a lot of money.
You wouldn’t think it, but tree planter. A pretty quintessentially Canadian job. It’s piece rate, usually between 15-50c per tree. I got to the point later in my career where I was regularly making $800+ per day, with a few days over $1500. It requires planting a helluva lot of trees though.
Not a year-round occupation, but it’s possible to make a decent annual income by doing this seasonally.
Electrical lineman? Scuba welder? You have my curiosity.

That is the most Canadian thing I’ve heard all day, and also hella cool.
