A few years back an Aussie by the name of Darren Bennett switched from playing Australian football to punting for the San Deigo chargers. (the guy could kick a football a long, long way). He went from earning about 150K a year for 120 minutes a week on the field playing a full contact sport with no protective gear, to earning at least half a million for about 30 seconds a week on the field.
