These Weird Jobs Pay Big, You Won’t Believe #1
🐊 KNGT 🐊 | Louisiana — Alright y’all, so I was sittin’ around the other day at my “real job”, yeah, for the ones who don’t know, radio ain’t the only thing I do. I’m also an Instrument and Electrical Designer here in Lake Charles. Fancy title, right? Sounds like I know what I’m doing most days… kinda.
Anyway, me and some coworkers got to talkin’ about job titles. And man… some of these companies out there are just makin’ stuff up at this point. You ever hear somebody say what they do for a living and you just nod your head like you understand… but you got zero clue what they just said? Yeah… that was us.
That conversation sent me down a rabbit hole. I started wonderin’… what are the craziest job titles out there?
Well, according to careeraddict.com, here are some of the wildest ones… and yeah, these folks are actually gettin’ paid to do this stuff.
What are some of the craziest Job Titles?
Let’s count ‘em down from #10 to #1…
#10 Professional Mourner
Yep… people pay you to show up and cry at funerals. That’ll run about $30 to $120 per event. I mean… talk about emotional overtime.
#9 Movie Watcher
Now this one ain’t too bad. Get paid to watch movies. Pay varies, but hey… sounds like a solid Friday night to me.
#8 Intimacy Coordinator
They help make sure actors are comfortable durin’ certain scenes in movies or shows. Pays around $1,100 a day. Not too shabby at all.
#7 Professional Cuddler
No joke. Folks pay $40 to $80 an hour just for somebody to sit there and cuddle. World’s a wild place.
#6 Odor Sniffer
Yep… you sniff stuff for a living. Like armpits, products, all kinds of things. About $48 an hour. I’ll pass.
#5 Feng Shui Consultant
This one’s kinda interesting. “Feng” means wind and “shui” means water. It’s all about how your space flows and feels. You can make anywhere from $50 to $400 an hour helpin’ folks rearrange their life… literally.
#4 Dog Food Taster
Somebody’s gotta do it… right? Around $45,000 a year to taste test dog food. I’m gonna stick with boudin.
#3 Pet Psychologist
Yep… therapy for your pets. Around $52,000 a year. I got a dog that might need this, honestly.
#2 Snake Milker
Now this one sounds like a bad idea from the start. They extract venom from snakes. Pays about $2,000 to $5,000 a month. That ain’t enough for me to even think about it.
And #1…
#1 Paranormal Guide
You lead people on ghost tours and spooky stuff. Pays around $30 to $40 an hour. Now this one… I might actually try. Long as nothing follows me home.
Look, I don’t know who comes up with some of these jobs… but somebody out there woke up one day and said, “You know what, I’m gonna sniff stuff for a living,” and now they’re makin’ decent money.
Kinda makes you think… maybe your job ain’t so weird after all. Or maybe… you’re just one idea away from inventin’ the next crazy one.
Either way, I’m stickin’ with radio… and electricity. At least I understand those… most days.
