We often complain about our jobs being too difficult, boring or not paying well enough. we always find arguments to denigrate them. So, to make you feel better about your work, here are some unusual professions that will change your mind on the matter!
1. Rental Boyfriend
We could say it is one of the luckiest and coolest jobs in the world. In Tokyo, Japan if you are rich and don't have a boyfriend and need one to spend quality time or make friends jealous, you can rent a boyfriend. So when are you resigning from your current job and shifting to Tokyo?
2. Passenger Pusher
In Japan, the railway platforms are so crowded that people in uniform are paid to push the crowd inside the train so that the next train can come in on time without delay and people reach their offices on time.
3. Professional Sleeper
Just imagine - you have applied for a new job and the interviewer asks you about your sleeping habits instead of work experience. What would your reaction be? Yes, it is hard to believe it but it is true. You can earn a lot of money by just sleeping. Professional sleepers are paid to sleep so that doctors and scientists can study the brain and other activities while the human body is at rest.??
4. Professional Stand-In-Liner
These freelancers are also known as Narabiya and stand in a queue in place of others in Japan. They are hired by those who don't want to waste their precious time standing in a line.
5. Wedding Guest
Did you ever get caught eating food at a wedding you weren't invited to,? like Bittu Sharma (Ranveer Singh) in Band Baaja Baaraat? If you¡¯ve been doing this, you stand a good chance of getting hired for this job.?
6. Water Slide Tester
Another crazy job on the list is water slider tester who is supposed to test all the slides around the world in exchange for hundreds of dollars. Seriously?
7. Deodorant Tester
You have to have a strong heart and a strong nose to do this job. Spend the day breathing underarms to see if the deodorants work as expected! It's hard to go to work in these conditions. There is only one risk: losing your sense of smell at the end of this professional career.
8. Paper Towel Sniffer
No degree or certificate is required for this job, you just have a nose with a strong sense of smell. It is also an important job for the service industry like hotels.
9. Electric Shock Giver
The profession is purely Mexican. In the street, people distribute electric shocks to drunk people in order to make them feel sober and earn 3-6 dollars. But if you are drunk in India you may end up meeting a police stick.
10. Professional Cuddler
Would you pay a professional cuddler for some snuggle time? A cuddler can earn upto $80 per hour. Most of the time it's men who pay a hugger for her services, they can also sleep with her but there¡¯s absolutely nothing sexual as all clients are fully clothed at all times.?
Robin Marie, a professional cuddler from
Kansas City, Missouri, earning $40,000 a year told Fox News, ¡°I spend up to 25 hours-a-week cuddling clients for work, then around ten hours a week cuddling my boyfriend and about seven hours a week cuddling my cat.¡±?
¡°I never get bored of cuddling. It¡¯s very rewarding. It causes the body to release oxytocin, the ¡®bonding hormone¡¯, which makes us feel happier and less stressed," she explained.
