Nowadays, it has become acceptable that we can actually hire somebody to do the simplest, or the oddest,
tasks for us. From a professional cuddler who would snuggle with you as much as you want to, up to an undercover bridesmaid that will stand next to you on your wedding day... the list is becoming longer and longer as time passes by. Here are some of the weirdest jobs you'll be stunned to know exist, according to the Business Insider's Jacquelyn Smith:
1. "Snake milkers extract venom from some of the world's most dangerous snakes, like rattlesnakes and cobras. The extracted venom is often used to create antivenom for hospital or laboratory use, and can be sold up to $1000 per gram." Are you down for this?
2 "Professional bridesmaids are there to assist brides on their big day. Jen Glantz, the cofounder of Bridesmaids for Hire, a company that offers 'undercover bridesmaid' and personal assistant-type services to brides and their wedding parties, charges anywhere from $300 to $2000 per wedding." If you don't have that much friends then this can actually work!
3. "Iceberg mover became a profession after the disastrous sinking of the Titanic in 1912. The International Ice Patrol (IIP), which was founded a year later, is operated by the US Coast Guard. It tracks the location of icebergs and provides safe routes around them. If necessary, the iceberg will be towed out of the area." Are you willing to give this one a try?
4. "Professional mourners attend funerals and grieve for the deceased. A company in England called Rent a Mourner specializes in the industry, offering mourners for two hours for roughly $70." Do you want to test your acting skills?
5. "Dog surfing instructors, who you can find at certain ocean resorts, are people you pay to teach you and your dog to surf. Some locations even offer classes strictly for dogs." This sounds amazing if you want to spend quality time with your furry friend.
