Most young people are trying to get a job with a good salary. What if you get a job that pays 30 crore rupees per year? However, you need to be aware of some things about this job. Despite being a well-paid job, only a few people go for it. The job is that of a lighthouse keeper in Pharos, near the port of Alexandria, Egypt. It is a challenging job.

This is one of the most difficult jobs in the world. That is why many people are not ready to take up this job. A long time ago, a captain was sailing near Alexandria. Meanwhile, a storm arose, and the ship crashed into sharp rocks, destroying valuable goods, and the sailor lost his life. It was with this tragedy that the need for a lighthouse arose in Alexandria.

Lighthouses were built in the middle of the sea to protect ships from danger. This was before electricity was invented. Therefore, in the early days, the light of a fire helped sailors find their way. The person who chooses this job must live in the lighthouse and protect it and keep the fire burning. Although it pays well, it is a lonely and dangerous job. You may not be able to interact with other people for months.

There will be frequent storms, which might endanger the lighthouse building itself. Only those who dare to work in extreme isolation, danger, and being stranded in one place can do this job both in the old times and current times as well.
