We know you probably get enough people talking to you about your careers and what you’re going to do when you leave University, and it’s hard to figure it out! Mostly because a lot of us just don’t even know what’s out there… Here’s a list of really bizarre career choices you probably didn’t know existed. You know, just in case you needed some inspiration.
1. Professional snuggler
Kinda like prostitution but not really? Plus it pays well…
2. Golf ball divers
Key skills include: enjoying treasure hunting and not being scared of alligators.
3. Paper towel sniffer
Because paper towels need to be odourless and paper towel companies need employ people to keep up their quality control in this area.
4. Professional bridesmaid
Undercover “bridesmaids” offer personal assistant services for the bride – if the job involves a pretty dress why not?
5. Iceberg movers
International Ice Patrol (IIP) was founded the year after Titanic sunk to track the locations of icebergs and move them if necessary – seems quite smart TBH.
6. Pet food tester
Because obviously humans know what dogs like the taste of…?
7. Chicken Sexer
They’re hired by commercial hatcheries to determine the sex of a chick. Apparently it’s quite hard and their skills rely heavily on intuition.
8. Fortune cookie writer
Yep, some writer out there could be determining your future right now.
9. Cool hunter
These people spend their days trying to track down the next big thing, there’s big money to be made here…
10. Dog Surfing Instructor
YES YES YES. I have found my calling.
