By Rachel Zupek, CareerBuilder.com writer
Let’s cut to the chase: People like money – a lot of it. Logistically, people have to work to make money. But unfortunately, people (generally) don’t like working. It’s quite the predicament – but it doesn’t have to be.
Here are 33 jobs that let you log fewer than 40 hours per week, yet earn more than the average worker.
