We struggle all our life to get into the best yet mundane (most of the time) jobs. We haven't heard or dreamt about getting into jobs other than Medicine, Engineering, Civil services or Teaching etc. Not that they're any less, but there are a lot other jobs that we could get into, weird yet professional ones. What if it was just your intuition and passion that could get you a job? Yes, here are a few jobs that we bet not many of you knew of.
1. Professional bridesmaids Yes. You could hire or maybe just be one of these professional bridesmaids to assist you on your Big day. This wouldn't require many trials and you could earn close to $300-400 per wedding!
2. Professional mourners Well, a few villages do hire 'rudalis' but these mourners are way more professional and can get to any funeral you'd want and grieve for the deceased.
3. Pet food testers These people, work not by their intuition but have to be trained well in nutrition and taste and only after their approval are these foods taken to the market for your pet.
4. Professional Presidential Poison tasters. Yes, although this was a viable job back in history, there still are such jobs in this day. Vladimir Putin had one and so did Prez George Bush use one. It is only after these tasters taste and approve of it, the food is taken to the President.
5. Professional Line-Standers Yes, if only we had and knew about them during these initial days of Demonetization! They charge at least $400 per week but then they're worth the wait. Quite literally.
6. Professional Pencil Sharpener Yes there are professional pencil sharpeners who will, after you send them your pencil that is to be sharpened, send it back to you sharpened with love and finesse, neatly put inside a tube, as if it were a scientific instrument.
7. Professional Mattress Jumper Yes, and it is a job. And they get paid for it. Real good. All they have to do is jump on mattresses and judge how good, bad or comfortable they are.
8. Gumologist A gumologist is one who tastes and judges gums (yes, bubble gums). He has to approve of its taste, how good or bad the bubble making is etc. If only we could get paid so easy.
9. Water Slide Tester Could one's life with an adrenaline rush get any better? He has to visit and try water slides and rides and just tell us how good or a bad the ride was and what changes had to be made to make it less or more scary.
10. Professional Fortune Cookie Writer. We've always dreamt of being gifted a fortune cookie. And you do know how it isn't actually easy to come up ideas to write inside these tiny strips for all the chocolates they produce. Here comes the job of a Fortune Cookie Writer. Cool, isn't it?
11. Professional Snuggler After a real bad day sometimes, all we could ask for is for a hug, a long, big one, with love. The professional snugglers give us just that. And yes, the pay is real good.
12. Professional Golf Ball divers These people help search for your tiny gold ball if it falls into a water body near your golf course. Their job is no easy one. The water could be real murky, dirty, deep and extremely full of germs. And so their pay is equally high.
All these 'professionals' get paid real good. Wish we knew where we could get enrolled for these jobs too. :p
