Strange jobs? How do we define that? Years ago I stole cars
as a repo-man, had some adventures as an investigative
process-server, and even handed out samples in grocery
stores. Here are some other unusual jobs you can aspire to:
Wrinkle Chaser
This is the person that irons wrinkles from shoes as they
are being made to ensure they are perfectly smooth when you
buy them.
Chicken Sexer
This is a real job title. A chicken sexer sorts through baby
chicks to determine if they are male or female, and then
segregate them.
Citrus Fruit Colorer
A Citrus Fruit Colorer, with the help of steam and
chemicals, gives citrus fruit a more natural coloring,
because fruit is usually picked before it is fully ripe.
Celluloid Trimmer
A Celluloid Trimmer shaves down a golf club and then adds
celluloid bands onto the golf clubs to make the leather grip
stay in place.
Odor Judgers
Want to smell armpits all day to help make effective
deodorants? I'm not sure why somebody other than some
strange fetishist would want this job.
Furniture Tester
Now here's a good one. The La-z-Boy Company (and probably
others) employs furniture testers to check out their
recliners. Want to relax for a living?
Cowpuncher
You can herd, castrate and brand cattle. Then, when you get
bored castrating cattle, you can repair fences, watering
troughs and do other maintenance work on the ranch.
Alligator Wrangler
This is more of a dangerous job than a strange one, and
probably not worth the pay, unless you get a T.V. show like
the The Crocodile Hunter.
This is just a small sampling of the weird jobs out there. I
understand that sumo-wrestlers need helpers in the bathroom,
for example, and a friend of mine once had a job painting
"Brake Release" on those little handles all day. Then there
are the strange businesses you can start, but that's another
story.
