few weeks ago, I went to a trade show with my
colleagues to meet some potential clients and
suppliers. I met many people from different fields
and had conversations about trends in their
respective industries, about political effects on
the businesses, and basically everything that could be
considered boring. But when I was about to leave the event,
I met someone who introduced himself as a waterslide
tester. I looked at him in disbelief, and finally asked him:
“Do you even get paid?” He told me that not only does
he get a great salary, but he also gets to travel to some
of the most exciting places while doing what he loves.
I couldn't hide that I was jealous and intrigued at the same
time. After the trade show, I began to research some of the
weirdest and well-paid jobs in North America and, more
specifically, Canada. Most of us are working, and most
of the time the jobs are very monotonous and ordinary,
but there are jobs out there that are super different
and sometimes don’t even require a college degree!
WATER SLIDE TESTER:
This job surely deserves to be talked about. It is fun, and
thrilling, and most of the work is basically a vacation.
You don’t need a college degree for the job, but you must
be able to evaluate the entire experience on a water slide
in terms that help it be improved. Payscale.com explains
what exactly water slide testers do. If you were one,
typically you would report if you liked the splash of the
water slide, if you found it safe, and if you were able to
slide smoothly. You can make about $45,000 a year, with
all your travel expenses covered. You can’t complain!
PET FOOU TASTER:
I know this sounds gross, but this is actually a job that
pays between $45,000 and $156,000. Most people in this
line of work have a doctorate, but it’s not a prerequisite.
The job involves smelling, eating, and testing pet
food prepared for dogs and cats to find if the batch
prepared is good enough to hit the shelves. Nobody
wants their pets to eat unhealthy or tasteless food, and
a pet food taster ensures the quality for pet owners.
FACE FEELER:
I wonder if this job makes you feel like a creep, but this,
again, is a very well-paid job. Also, you don’t need to have
a fancy college degree for it. Typically a part-time job,
face feelers can get paid anything between $15 and $25 an
hour. They work for companies that make facial products
like shaving creams, face washes, and the like that claim
to make your skin feel better. Face feelers or “sensory
scientists” verify and support their claims. Abc.go.com
reports that face feelers are hired based on their natural
talent for detecting differences between products and
skins. They undergo training to be able to describe the feel
in clinical terms so that they can report their findings. If
you love feeling, you should give this one serious thought.
CUP KEEPER:
Have you ever heard of Phil Pritchard? Well, he has been
the keeper of the Stanley Cup for the last 27 years. He
babysits the National Hockey League’s iconic trophy and
makes sure it doesn’t get damaged or lost. He travels with
the Cup and keeps it clean and fingerprint free. With his
interesting and high profile job, whatever he makes is a
bonus, because it is a hell of an experience to always be so
close to the trophy that hockey players live and die for.
SNAKE MILKER:
And you thought only cows, sheep, and goats could be
milked. Snake milking is a serious and a risky job. A snake
milker extracts venom from venomous snakes by provoking
snakes to bite in a jar with a latex lid. The venom is used to
make anti-venoms, which are very expensive and rare across
the world. To be a snake milker, you are required to have a
science degree and extensive knowledge about reptiles and
snakes. Most importantly, you need to be brave to handle
snakes like vipers and cobras. A snake milker earns more
with experience, but typically starts at $2,500 a month.
CHICKEN SEXER:
Bbc.co.uk reported earlier this year that the British Poultry
Council is having a hard time finding chicken sexers in the
country despite offering $80,000 Canadian per annum.
A chicken sexer separates male and female chicks ina
chicken farm. Female chicks are looked after to grow
them for egg and meat, while male chicks are generally
killed soon after being sorted from the lot. In Canada,
a typical chicken sexer earns about $60,000 a year.
WINE SOMMELIER:
This is one job that will keep you close to home.
Considered one of the most famous cities for wine in
North America, Vancouver is a hub where wine lovers get
together for numerous wine tasting events each year. A
sommelier tastes wines to help customers choose, and
works with restaurants and winemakers to understand
consumers’ tastes. They also help in improving the quality
of the wine that reaches your table. There are courses and
certifications for becoming a professional wine sommelier.
One incentive of this job is that you get to network at wine
events. It is also a decently paid, at an average of $45,000
per annum. With experience and networking skills, you
can earn as much as $75,000 a year, all while tasting wine.
COMPUTERIZED COLLEGE NOTE-TAKER:
This job includes attending classes and taking notes for
deaf students. Colleges all across Canada have professionals
who get between $35 and $50 an hour for taking notes
for students with disabilities. Good organizational
skills, an eye for detail, and a fast typing speed are must-
haves for this job. A bonus of the job is that you get to
learn new things without paying any tuition fees.
AERIAL APPLICATORS:
Also known as crop dust pilots, aerial applicators are
some of the most adventurous job holders in the aviation
industry. It is a risky job, because aerial applicators have
to fly under telephone cables and at low altitudes, while
sprinkling fertilizers, pesticides, and other chemicals
for the agriculture industry. Wsj.com reports that aerial
applicators make between $60,000 and $100,000 a year.
All these jobs, though not popular, pay well and could be
considered ifyou find your current job too boring. You
never know, you might end up travelling to international
water parks or feeling the faces of beautiful models.
