"Lucrative positions"

Now that I am back, I have to comment on something that I have noticed a lot in various articles in our press during the past few years. Various Liberian journalists in their professional roles, tend to refer to the job as the managing director of the Liberian Petroleum Refining Company, as being lucrative. There are other instances where I have seen this too.

Some how, this stance, when reporting objectively does not make sense to me. What is lucrative about the job? Are they insinuating their own personal envy over whoever was appointed to this post? Are they suggesting that whoever is doing the job should indulge in lining their pockets, because that is what was done in the past?

I am not sure. What is your take on this?

It seems a bit strange. As you say, I have seen it too.
