\"Obscure
Paper Tower Sniffer… an absorbing career choice!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We know you probably get enough people talking to you about your careers and\u00a0what you\u2019re going to do when you leave University, and it\u2019s hard to figure it out!\u00a0Mostly because a lot of us just don\u2019t even know what\u2019s out there\u2026 Here\u2019s a list of\u00a0really bizarre career choices you probably didn\u2019t know existed. You know, just in\u00a0case you needed some inspiration.<\/p>\n

1. Professional snuggler<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kinda like prostitution but not really? Plus it pays well\u2026<\/p>\n

2. Golf ball divers<\/strong><\/p>\n

Key skills include: enjoying treasure hunting and not being scared of alligators.<\/p>\n

3. Paper towel sniffer<\/strong><\/p>\n

Because paper towels need to be odourless and paper towel companies need\u00a0employ people to keep up their quality control in this area.<\/p>\n

4. Professional bridesmaid<\/strong><\/p>\n

Undercover \u201cbridesmaids\u201d offer personal assistant services for the bride \u2013 if the job\u00a0involves a pretty dress why not?<\/p>\n

5. Iceberg movers<\/strong><\/p>\n

International Ice Patrol (IIP) was founded the year after Titanic sunk to track the\u00a0locations of icebergs and move them if necessary \u2013 seems quite smart TBH.<\/p>\n

6. Pet food tester<\/strong><\/p>\n

Because obviously humans know what dogs like the taste of\u2026?<\/p>\n

7. Chicken Sexer<\/strong><\/p>\n

They\u2019re hired by commercial hatcheries to determine the sex of a chick. Apparently\u00a0it\u2019s quite hard and their skills rely heavily on intuition.<\/p>\n

8. Fortune cookie writer<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yep, some writer out there could be determining your future right now.<\/p>\n

9. Cool hunter<\/strong><\/p>\n

These people spend their days trying to track down the next big thing, there\u2019s big\u00a0money to be made here\u2026<\/p>\n

10. Dog Surfing Instructor<\/strong><\/p>\n

YES YES YES. I have found my calling.<\/p>\n
