3. Iceland
This country that ranks third on our list of highest paying countries for chefs gets the bronze medal. The salary is almost double the Norwegian one – it’s $70,000. So if you don’t mind the cold, perhaps this is even a better option. However, you should definitely do some research on the locals’ diet by checking out the Guide to Iceland. If you’re already proficient at cooking sheep’s head, you’ll have no problems. Of course, seafood is always on the menu, such as smoked fish.
