Jobs off the beaten track

Li Yong, Ben'ao Anda Chauffeur Agency, Beijing

Driving back home people who down more than a drink or two in the evenings, 30-year-old Li Yong gets to check out a great variety of cars. Holidays and celebrations are peak season, bringing him two requests on average per night through his agency.

During the day, Li is a full time employee of a five star hotel in Beijing. He says the tightened controls on drunk driving in recent years is a boon to agencies offering chauffeur services, and earns him a tidy pocket money every month.
