You work in an office and you are bored?

Here are some not so usual jobs waiting for you.

Golf Ball Diver


When a golf ball falls into the water, the task of a golf ball diver is to
pick it up. In modern golf courts, professional golf ball divers can
become very rich picking up 3000 balls a day. The most dangerous
thing is that the lake is full of glass, iron pieces and even crocodiles.

Smell Tester
Although technology and
science are more and more developing, cosmetic companies
still need professional staff to smell their products. A smell tester
has to smell 60 different odors three times per an hour.

Hair Boiler
Hair boiler is considered to be the worst
job. You must stand beside a big pan which is used to boil different kinds of
animal hair until it becomes soft enough to
make false hair.

Furniture Tester
Fancy sitting on your backside all day or lying
in bed till late? Well now you can every day
at work as a furniture Tester.

Professional Pusher
Japan is indeed a
hardworking nation. It makes sure that all its people reach work
on time and that's why Japan has employed people to push
others onto trains so that nobody's late for work. 

Car Plate Blocker


In a bid to reduce congestion on
the roads, Iran has employed a
strange policy where cars with number plates ending in odd and even
numbers are allowed on roads on alternate days only. Iranians hire men
to walk behind their cars so that the cameras don't capture their number
plates. 

Professional Mourner
You'll need these mourners if nobody gave a damn about you
when you were alive. It's sad that you won't be able to see them
mourn for you because you'd be in the coffin.
