In recent news, Corey Rockwell, a 38-year-old American resident, has become an internet sensation for earning over Rs 1 crore per year despite minimal education. Corey, lacking formal qualifications or training, initially worked at a local supermarket but eventually found himself dissatisfied. An opportunity arose when he was offered a job as a miner by the Geotemps mining agency in Orovada, Nevada, initially for a 6-month stint.
Contrary to the short-term plan, Corey continued his mining career for an impressive four years. Currently employed at a copper mine in Yerington City, Corey draws a salary exceeding Rs. 1 crore annually. While mining jobs are known for their high salaries, they also come with substantial risks. Corey’s responsibilities include planting explosives in the drilled sections of the mine, exposing him to potential dangers. Despite the risks, Corey, whose workday begins at 6 AM and concludes in the evening, expresses his deep love for his job.
His annual income peaks at $160,000, roughly Rs 1.3 crore in Indian currency. Additionally, Corey earns a $30 (£24) bonus for each extra hour worked. In a media interaction, he conveyed his profound affection for his work, describing himself as an underground miner and emphasizing how the job has been life-changing for him.
This story echoes a recent incident involving an Indian citizen named Natarajan in the UAE, who won the FAST5 Grand Prize in the Emirates Draw, receiving 25 thousand dirhams (Rs. 5.6 lakh) monthly for the next 25 years. Natarajan, expressing gratitude for societal support during his challenges, pledged to contribute his jackpot winnings to help those in need.
Corey’s journey from a local supermarket to a high-paying mining job serves as an inspirational tale of career transformation, proving that passion and commitment can lead to financial success despite minimal formal education.
