In today’s era of unemployment, there are also jobs for which the annual salary is about $3.6 million, but no one is ready to do it.
Egypt offers an attractive salary of 3.6 million dollars per year (about one billion Pakistani rupees). In this job, there is no fear of the boss’s scolding or worry about too much work. The person doing this job does not have to do much, turn a switch on and off, but even those who are eager to become millionaires are not ready to do this job at all.
The reason for this is that this job is for the lighthouse keeper on the island of Pharos near the port of Alexandria in Egypt, where the employee only has to turn the switch on or off.
The Pharos of Alexandria is the first lighthouse in the world, which was built during the Ptolemaic Empire in 247 to 280 years BC. Its height was 393 to 450 feet. It is considered the tallest artificial structure in the world and is also one of the seven wonders of the world. This tower was built to guide ships safely into the busy port of Alexandria.
The keeper of this lighthouse has no daily work pressure. He only has to show the way by light at night, monitor them and keep them safe from dangerous rocks. In this job, no boss constantly supervises them. He only has time to eat and rest.
The lighthouse is located in the middle of the sea, far away from people and society. The keeper will have to live alone there. The keeper communicates with his boss only on special occasions throughout the year. This lack of social contact can lead to severe loneliness, which affects mental health.
This terrible loneliness in the noise of the sea is the main reason why no one wants to do this job despite the attractive salary.
