Here's a unique job for someone. Pay is $130,000/year

San Francisco lighthouse seeks caretakers. Salary: $130,000.

Tiny island with beautiful views of city could be your new home – if you can pilot a boat and run a bed and breakfast.

Wanted: lighthouse keepers.

Location: a tiny island with remarkable views of San Francisco.

Salary: approximately $130,000.

A job search sure to stoke fantasy and envy is now under way for two keepers who will be based at the East Brother Light Station, which has lit up the northern reaches of San Francisco Bay since 1873. Although they will share the salary and require qualifications that will rule out many would-be applicants, there has already been broad interest in the positions.

I run a boat daily now and worked at a Days Inn in college, so I guess I'm qualified. Will need about triple the pay because it's San Fran
