The World’s Most Unique Jobs 1
25 January 2008Just because a job is rare, doesn’t mean it’s a dream job. These jobs exist because someone has to do them.
Fancy Ticklers
These fine ladies and gentlemen face the possibility of rejection everyday. If they are not able to successfully tickle their client’s fancy, they don’t make any money that day. Their clients are among the most discerning wealthy people on the planet. They demand the very best fancy tickling, and they’re willing to pay well for it.
Folding Money Folders
This profession faces blisters, latex poisoning from the rubber gloves, and carpal tunnel syndrome. They also face the mental torment of handling large amounts of new money while not being allowed to take any of it home. And to top it off, they must endure a strip search every evening before they go home.
Needle Finders
This is a tedious and sometimes mind-numbing job. Not surprisingly, this profession tends to have high turnover. Needle finding is not a particularly dangerous profession, however there were a few who got severe infections from needle punctures. Most infections were caused by lack of proper care due to severe laziness on the employee’s part. However, there was one infection that was the result of mild laziness.
Needle finding is much more important than is widely believed. If a needle were to become lodged in the mouth of a cow, horse, or other valuable livestock, it could cause the animal to stop eating and possibly starve. Furthermore, if an animal were to ingest a needle it could puncture the throat or another part of the digestive tract, causing a fatal infection.
Wild Goose Chasers
Let’s start off by saying, geese are not very nice. This jobs is not so much stressful as it is exhausting. These brave men and women are guaranteed to come home each night with at least one or two new bruises. They also risk getting their eyes pecked if their goggles slip.
Sewage Cooker
Most people have heard of raw sewage, but not cooked sewage. Furthermore most of them that do hear of it don’t believe it really exists. In fact it does exist, that’s why raw sewage is called raw sewage. If no sewage was ever cooked then there would be no reason to refer to any sewage as raw, it would just be sewage. You may ask yourself, why sewage needs to be cooked. The answer is simple, sewage is not sterile. According to EPA guidelines, all sewage must be sterilized before being released.
The job of a sewage cooker is more dangerous than would be expected. There is the danger of a boil-over, but most of the illness and deaths are caused by the noxious gases emitted by boiling sewage.
