World’s weirdest jobs

September 19, 2011 16 Comments

You don’t always have to sit in an office cubicle in order to make a living, working from nine to five to bring home the bacon. For those who are constantly seeking for new career opportunities, think outside the norm just for a minute and look for jobs that no one else has never heard of or even dare to apply. Below are some of those weird jobs, beware though, because some are just downright weird but most will make you chuckle.

  • Vomit Collector – You heard it right, these are people who works at theme parks to clean vomit every time a passenger gets sick.
  • Professional Sleeper – Talk about making money while you sleep, it actually exist! These are people who works for medical labs to be researched on the mysteries of sleep and what it actually does to the brain.
  • Potato Chip Inspector – Never heard being an inspector is so satisfying, my kind of job! These people inspect potato chips while on the conveyor belt for burnt or abnormal chips.
  • Turd Burner – Alright, this is just disgusting. Do you think you have what it takes to burn human waste for a living? These people do.
  • Livestock Masturbator – Okay that’s enough, stop laughing. This is serious, these individuals acquire bodily fluids from animals such as cows and horses in order to keep breeding.
  • Gold Farming – No it’s not about finding gold per se. It’s about playing World of Warcraft all day long and finding gold in order to sell it back for people who need to buy imaginary dragons. This is a $3 billion dollar industry and guess where it’s coming from? China. So this is where all our money went hmm.
  • Furniture Tester – Man I wish I had a job where I can just lay around and do nothing. Can you say Couch potato?

Heard of any weird jobs or ever had a weird jobs yourself?

    Yeesh. What a list. I must admit, if I had to find a job I wouldn’t do any of these things. I would rather take a loan and go back to school. I know these things need to be done but I definitely wouldn’t get that job satisfaction I need from any of these options.

    Hmmm, these are weird. The furniture tester doesn’t seem like a bad gig, though!

    Interesting List. The Potato Chip Inspector makes me think of the “I Love Lucy” episode where her and Ethel are working in the chocolate factory on the conveyor belt. I think I would share a similar fate in a potato chip factory…

    Those are some weird jobs… I used to put pizza fliers on doors when I was in high school. I can’t believe how cranky people are. What’s the big deal, just take it down if you don’t like it.

    These are some odd jobs. I don’t think I’d mind the potato chip inspector. I’d also add brew master to this list, but maybe that’s not odd enough and many people would like that job!

      I wouldn’t mind being a brew master, if I can stay sober half the time 😀

    I knew a guy who tested peas in a factory. He would float them in water and if they sank (or maybe floated) it meant they were no good.

    Next time I reorder business cards I’m going to replace my position with Turd Burner to see if HR catches it.

    I would be an AWESOME furniture tester. My furniture is so thoroughly tested it’s pretty much worn out!

    Livestock Masturbator- lmfao! That’s so nasty. I never really gave much thought to odd jobs like these. I’d much rather sit in a cubical than beat off animals. Yuck.

    I didn’t see ‘rectal thermometer tester’ on your list.
