My last foray into unusual jobs was so much fun I thought I would surf the net and see what other unusual jobs might be out there for those needing a change of work. Here are a few more jobs that might not make you rich but will gain you a certain amount of attention.
Fortune Cookie Writer

This is a great job for all of us aspiring writers. Just thinking we can have some of work actually read by thousands of people. Just imagine sitting at your keyboard whipping off a couple of thousand fortunes a day. What could be better? Maybe the job of stuffing all those fortunes into the cookies?
Hair Boiler
Ahh! The aroma of boiling animal hair filtering into your nose all day long. This job is certainly distinctive, or should I just say stinky. It is an actual job. It calls for the employee to boil animal hair until it curls then they store it for later use. Funny they don’t say what it is ever used for. I keep picturing this warehouse filled with curled hair.
Snake Milker

This job requires a bit of training to see how to get the venom out of poisonous snakes for the purpose of making anti venoms. While the purpose of the job is a good one, I am not sure that hazard pay is not part of the package deal for this job.
Dog Food Tester

Scarlet O’Hara would have loved this job as it would have guaranteed that she would never have gone hungry again. This is a real job where a human taste tests various dog foods to make sure it would taste good to man’s best friend.
Forest Fire Lookout
Image via WikipediaDefinitely not a job for a people person. This job consists of sitting in a high tower all alone watching out for signs of forest fires. A few places tried hiring newly married couples for this position but I am not sure that this was such a good idea as all that time alone may have led to this becoming a job for a large family when things heated up a little.
Weed Farmer
No not the kind of weed you get arrest for. This is a farmer that grows the kind of weeds all the other farmers are trying to rid themselves of. I guess they make a fair living growing the weeds which they then sell to different laboratories who want to study them. I wonder if they study these weeds to find more proficient ways of getting rid of them.
Hot Walker
This is the guy or gal who walks horses after they race in order to cool them down. Rather a weird title for a pretty neat sounding job.
Bird Poop Jewelry Maker
Another real job, done by real people. Proving once again that people will buy anything!
It is truly amazing the things people will do to earn a little money. Maybe my job isn’t so bad after all.
