I think most people would be happy to make over a million in 3 years by sitting on a bench I'm sure they would, but most NFL players don't have any actual job skills, so they're making a million in 3 years and then out in their early 20s.

GunmaN1905 06/19/18 9:54:58 AM #12:	The best job ever is being the third goalkeeper in biggest European clubs. You obviously need three goalkeepers for the season, because if one is injured or gets a red card you still need another backup to be on the bench. But in reality, those guys never play a minute during the whole season, but they still earn around 300-500k per year. Don't even have to travel to away games. <cite>GunmaN1905 posted [p:903557454] in Sports: Do...
