Maybe the coolest, but by no means the best paying, was working as a guide at a game farm.

Because of my security clearance and MOS I traveled all over the world as a secretary, driver, body guard, sounding board, keeper of secrets for Generals and Master Sergeant Majors.

Oh yeah and some war stuff.
