Thank you Captain2 for your answers. Still not sure a pirate is a job but hey how!
Don't understand where beacon comes from in the first place?

You can see a beacon for miles

Suggestion for 1. Journalist. As I think jour is day in French, also got a list. Just n left.
Re the Pirate, what about the "planning to get many"

[Captain2]

Good point Sam

Try
Priest - anagram of 'traipse' less 'a s(hilling)' + .....

[sapelesam]

Captain, Planning to get more money presumably

[Captain2]

... so 'though planning to get many' means you put an 's' back in the anagram, do you think?

[sapelesam]

Or getting many shillings. Sounds like pirate.

[sapelesam]

Where are dannyk and Mamya when you need them.

[elliemay1]

4 I agree with 'pirate.'
'Planning to get many' probably means that a pirate is planning to rob and plunder and thus get lots of shillings.

[sapelesam]

I always wanted to be a pirate, just didn't know where to apply.

[pixie374]

I'd go with pirate.

[jacjoy]

Thank you everyone, you've been most helpful.
