Feeling a bit bored with your job and fancy a change? Why not try one of these jobs out? They’re probably not to everyone's taste, but believe it or not, these are actually real jobs done by real people.
Here are the top 5 weirdest jobs in the world:
1. Professional sleeper:
A hotel in Finland hired a member of staff as a ‘professional sleeper’ to test the comfort of their beds. The individual sleeps in a different one of the hotel beds each night and writes a review about her satisfaction with each one.
2. Drying paint watcher:
No, this isn’t a joke. Someone actually earns a living watching paint dry. A man in the UK currently has the job and he spends his days painting sheets of cardboard to test how long new paint mixes take to dry and watching for changes in color and texture.
3. Train Pusher:
If you think the London Underground is bad, you should see the trains in Japan. ‘Oshiyas’ are hired to help cram as many people onto a train as possible by pushing them from the outside until the doors will close.
4. Snake Milker:
Not for the light-hearted. The job of a snake milker is to collect the venom of poisonous snakes in jars for use in anti-venoms and other medication. Thank god someone's brave enough!
5. Scuba Diving Pizza Delivery Man:
If the fact that there's an underwater hotel in Florida isn't bizarre enough, to add on to that, they have a scuba diving pizza delivery man who supplies them with pizza by carrying them through the sea in a watertight case.
