Being a longshoreman is a job that doesn't require any kind of degree, but it can land you some big bucks. Longshoreman are the men and women who load and unload shipping crates at the docks, so if you're afraid of water, don't worry. It's not like you're out on a boat. All you have to do is hang out on the docks - well, that and do grueling labor. A little hard work never killed anyone, and let's face it, no matter where you work if you want to make a lot of money you better work hard.
What kind of money are we talking about? We're talking about anywhere between seventy thousand dollars and two-hundred and fifty thousand dollars.

Nowadays, people have become more accepting of imperfection; when it comes to fresh produce that is.
