If you want to get rich fast, then donning a pinstriped suit and heading for the City has traditionally been seen as the most straightforward path to wealth.
Unsurprisingly this year’s ranking of the UK’s richest 1,000 people by the Sunday Times continues to be dominated by financiers, hedge funders and property tycoons.

We look at six of the career choices which you wouldn’t typically bet on to bring in the big bucks.
1. Egg Farming
2. Pet Food
3. Crumpets (bakery)
4. Soap
5. Packaging
6. Market Trader
I – Word Understanding
Donning – wearing / putting on (clothing)
