Why not get paid to work out and teach others how to, too? The listing doesn’t specify how many classes a week on average, so the monthly income for this position may vary.

Another unionized position, the Program Support Assistant role is a regular full-time job that averages between $44,100 and $56,700 per year.

The successful applicant will primarily log client information and type reports and documents for Vancouver Coastal Health.

It may not be the most fashion-friendly job, but labourers typically work 30 to 40 hours weekly. The job salary is $27.45 hours plus 12% instead of benefits.

No certificate or diploma is needed for the job; you must be comfortable handling heavy loads and getting dirty occasionally.

Still, you’ll need a Human Resources degree and a valid BC driver’s license for this one.
