Adrian Dantley: Crossing Guard
You may well be very surprised by this one! With a 15 year long career in tow, Adrian Dantley was inducted into the Hall of Fame, scoring more than 22 500 points as a professional ballplayer. While he still coached a little on the side, when 2010 rolled around he decided to become none other than a crossing guard.
While he surely can’t be in it for the money, with salaries estimated at $14k a year, it seems that he simply has a love for helping other people. Don’t forget that the job has some health benefits too! When he’s not helping people to cross the streets, he also referees high school games where possible.
Detlef Schrempf: Business Development Manager
Detlef Schrempf knew he wanted to give himself options, so in college, he majored in International Business. Sixteen years later it was time to dust off the old degree, where he didn’t have to wait long to get a job working for Coldstream Capital Management in the role of business development officer.
When he’s not helping other businesses to gain momentum, he also likes to take on the odd acting gig too. He had a recurring role on NBC’s hit show Parks and Recreation, showcasing that he is a man of many lucrative talents.
