- [Narrator] Growing up, you may have had your fair share of odd jobs that you did in order to earn some extra money. However, those odd jobs can't be anywhere as unusual as the ones coming up. On top of being highly unusual, the following jobs are
also highly-rewarding, with most of them having
five to six-figure salaries. Here are the top twenty unusual
jobs that pay really well. (upbeat music) - Amazing! - [Narrator] Number 20,
Professional TV Watcher. Believe it or not, people get paid by simply watching TV shows. The job is simple, you watch a TV show, give it a proper tag and
category, and then rate it. Professional TV watchers can earn around several hundred dollars per week. When late-night talk
show host Jimmy Kimmel hired TV watchers, he paid
them $500-$600 per week. To become a professional TV watcher, you must display objectiveness, as well as having extensive
knowledge about TV shows. If you're a couch potato
looking to earn some money, then look out for these jobs! Number 19, Food Stylist and Photographer. People with a passion for food often find themselves becoming chefs. If becoming a chef isn't your calling, then you might want to try your hand at becoming a food stylist. Their job is simple, make the food look as tasty as possible. They're also in charge of
taking equally-appealing photos of their creations,
allowing their clients to reach out to a broader audience. Food stylists can earn an
average of $33,000 per year, while established food stylists
can earn up to $850 a day. Instagram foodies will surely love to take a shot trying to land this job! Number 18, Professional Snuggler. Once considered a niche job,
professional snuggling has quickly become a booming business. To become a snuggle buddy, a candidate must meet
two core requirements. One, they must be an
empathic and caring person, and two, they must not mind sharing their personal space
with a total stranger. Don't worry though, companies that hire professional snugglers
often let their employees decide who to snuggle with,
as well as maintaining a strict no sexual activities policy. If you don't mind sharing a
rather intimate experience with a stranger, becoming
a professional snuggler isn't that bad of an idea. Number 17, Video Game Tester. Video game testers earn
decent pay from doing what they love the most,
playing video games. With an average salary range
of up to $36,000 annually, its quickly becoming a lucrative
job for gaming aficionados. Of course, becoming a video game tester is not all play and no work, as they're required to do things you would do in a normal office setting, it's just that the work
is mostly gaming-related. So be wary when applying
for this position, as this job is mostly-suited for people who have an undying
passion for video games. Either that, or become a gaming YouTuber and potentially earn millions,
like VanossGaming does. Number 16, Paper Towel Sniffer. Yes, this is an actual
job, and it pays well too. The job description is
basically just that, you smell paper towels, tons of it. You see, these paper towel companies want their paper towels
to be purely odorless, so they hire people who have a good sense of smell to sniff for them and see if their products
are truly odorless. That's the same reason
NASA hires a sniffer to smell everything that goes into space. The salary for a paper towel sniffer? Around $52,000 annually. And that's only for smelling paper towels! What about smelling farts? That's coming up later in the video. Number 15, Face Feeler. Looking for a job that has
a literal hands-on approach? Then look no further than this job. The premise of becoming
a face feeler is simple. They feel their target
consumers' faces in order to help companies which manufacture
facial care products. Face feelers must be able
to determine even the smallest details from
their target consumers, which is why they're
required to pass a tactile sensitivity test to become
a full-fledged face feeler. A professional face feeler can earn around $10 to $25 an hour,
depending on their expertise. With that salary range, it's
best not to take this job at face value. Number 14, Body Part Model. Essentially, they're models, but they only model a
specific part of their body, their hands, their
feet, or something else. These models are hired
because they possess the perfect body parts to
suit their clients' needs. And just like regular models,
they're paid handsomely. A modeling gig can give
them up to $5,000 per day, with a possibility of
earning $75,000 annually. If you think you have
the perfect body parts that companies can use to
highlight their products, apply to become a body part model. This job might serve as your gateway to the modeling industry! Number 13, Worm Picker. Worm pickers basically do
as their job title implies, they pick up worms,
collect them inside a box, and deliver them to people
selling worms as fish bait. They're also in charge
of keeping them alive while they make the delivery, feeding them and replacing the soil they thrive on whenever needed. Salary? You can earn around $13 per
hour, working 40 hours per week, earning you around $27,000 plus health and medical benefits annually. If you don't mind getting dirty, this job is the right one for you! Number 12, Pearl Divers. Pearl divers do essentially
the same as worm pickers, except this time, they look for pearls in potentially dangerous waters. Compared to other jobs mentioned, becoming a pearl diver requires education and diving expertise. Knowledge about pearls and oysters is a big plus for this job as well. Pearl divers are well-compensated, earning up to $1,200 per day, with experienced divers capable of earning six figures a year. It's definitely a great
career choice for underwater enthusiasts looking to
earn from their hobbies. Number 11, Gross Stunts Tester. Often seen in reality shows, gross stunts will make just
about anyone, well, gross out. Not gross stunts testers
however, as this is their job. They're tasked to take on these stunts before the contestants do, to determine if they're really safe. Not really a job you would want, especially since you're taking the bullet meant for the contestants. On the plus side however,
this job pays $800 daily. It also comes with
numerous medical benefits, considering the risks involved. It better come with a
number of sick leaves too, because you'll definitely need them. Number 10, Armpit Sniffer. Armpit sniffers are paid to do exactly what their job titles imply, smell the armpits of various people. Stuck in a room filled
with sweaty men and women, you will need to sniff
their armpits one by one. Once you're done, you'll
need to apply deodorant and sniff them once more to
see if it's truly effective. If you're more than willing to smell more than 60 armpits in an hour, you'd be on your way to
pocketing up to $52,000 per year. Think you have the stomach for this job? Number nine, Embalmer. A grotesque yet honorable job, embalmers take it upon
themselves to make their clients, the deceased, look
presentable at their funerals. They wash their bodies, apply preserving agents to prevent deterioration, and use makeup to
restore their appearance. It's a challenging job,
but it is highly-rewarding, as an embalmer can earn an
average annual salary of $45,000, with experienced embalmers
earning up to $64,000 annually. Should you choose to be an embalmer, always remember one
thing, treat your clients, both the dead and the
living, with utmost respect. Number eight, Fart Smeller. While China has no shortage
of highly-rewarding jobs, it also has no shortage of
careers that can be considered unusual, like being a
professional fart smeller. According to the Chinese,
smelling these expelled gases can help in determining
ailments plaguing the patient. These professional fart
smellers are trained to smell different types of farts, allowing them to diagnose properly. Seems like a stinky job,
but with an annual salary of $50,000, it's not
really that bad of a deal. Maybe you know someone
who should get tested? Share this video with
them to let them know. Just pray that your fart
smeller of choice doesn't faint if they're notoriously smelly. Number seven, Crime Scene Cleaner. Cleaning up grisly and
gruesome crime scenes? Doesn't really fit the
dream job category, right? But what if this job pays you big money, to the sum of around $80,000 a year? Becoming a crime scene
cleaner doesn't simply involve scrubbing away the blood
and removing corpses. You need to properly clean
and disinfect the area to prevent contamination and
the spread of diseases. Cleaners are also required to restore the crime scene to how it originally looked, as if a crime never occurred there. It's a really tough job,
but somebody's got to do it. Number six, Fortune Cookie Writers. Ever wonder who writes those fortunes you see in fortune cookies? Well, they're done mostly
by freelance writers. But unlike other writers,
they need to write their pieces bite-sized, kind of
like those fortune cookies. These writers need to be witty
and creative to come up with somewhat philosophical
phrases and sentences. So, whats the Salary for this type of job? They can earn around
$12 to $50 per project. The fortunate ones, however, can earn up to $75,000 annually. If you're the creative type of writer, you might as well try
your hand on becoming one. Who knows, it might
just earn you a fortune. Number five, Bingo Manager. If you're thinking that this job would be as easy as your local bingo happenings, you might want to think
twice about taking this job. The role of a bingo manager is
basically an all-around one, manage bingo activities personally, approve and award prizes to the winners, secure forms and licenses to adhere to the local government's
rules and regulations on gambling, and many more. If you think you can handle all these, you will be well-compensated with an average salary of $60,000, depending on the location
of your business. So take a shot, this job might
just earn you your jackpot. Number four, Submarine Chef. Chefs are amongst the highest
paid people in the world. Doubly so if they're a submarine chef, as you can earn up to $200,000
per year plus allowances, if you're willing to live
under the sea for a few months. Submarine chefs do what chefs normally do, provide nutritious and
delicious meals to the crew three times a day, and
sometimes fill in the occasional midnight snack requests. Besides that, they're free to do anything, as long as they adhere
to the officers' rules. Not like that they'd be
able to do other things inside a submarine. Number three, Pet Food Taster. Crazy as it may be,
this kind of job exists. The goal of pet food tasters
is to ensure that pets, usually cats and dogs, get
the best meals possible. They don't eat pet food per se, rather, they just chew
and check its texture, allowing them to see if it's
fit for pet consumption. Basically, these pet food tasters help you deal with those finicky pets. A pet food taster's salary ranges from $40,000 to $120,000 per year. People surely won't call you crazy now with that kind of salary. Number two, Line Stander. Tired of waiting in lines
to buy that new phone? Hire a line stander to
stand in line for you. Minutes, hours, or even days, they will stay in line and won't budge. A professional line stander
can earn up to $1,000 per week, charging their clients
around $25 for the first hour and $10 every succeeding half hour. So, if you have extra
time and you want to earn a quick buck, then this
is the right job for you. Number one, Nude Model. Being naked in front of
people, nude models serve as an outlet for modern artists to
express their inner creativity. While it may seem
embarrassing to pose naked for other people, it comes
with many strict guidelines that should be followed by
both the model and clients, with the best interests of
the model being prioritized over anything else. Nude models' salaries are
usually billed hourly, with the minimum being $20 an hour. They can earn an average of
$30,000 upwards annually. Becoming a nude model isn't easy, but for those who aren't
afraid to bare it all, then this job definitely fits the bill. Would you want to apply
for one of these odd, yet high-paying, jobs? Let me know in the comments
section down below. Thanks for watching! (electronic music)
