Still, if you ever wanted to be a professional wiener — without spending $44B to buy a social media — this could be your chance! A friend of mine did something similar shortly after we finished college, driving a Hostess Cupcake Car around the country, and it was honestly a fun stint. While there's no salary information listed here (for shame!), I know that my friend at least got to enjoy the perks of free housing and per diem food, which meant all his money went into savings anyway. So that's fun when you're 22 or 23. (Not so great for relationships, though.)
