1. Odor Tester
This one is pretty odd, but some chemist has to make sure that all of those deodorants and anti-perspirants are operating properly to keep their users free of funk
2. Hair Boiler
This lucky soul gets to boil various kinds of animal hair until it curls for later use.
3. Waste Station/Water Treatment Worker
Maybe more dirty than weird, but anytime someone has to deal with other peoples crap (literally) I think you can classify it as a weird job.
4. Citrus Fruit Dyer
Have you ever passed by the lemons at the supermarket and though to yourself, damn that's some good looking citrus! Well it might be because there commercial farmers out there who dye the fruit a more vibrant color to hide the ripeness of the fruit.
5. Crocodile Wrangler
Many of us are privy to this unusual occupation due to the late, great Steve Irwin, but no matter how accustomed we become to handling animals it will always be a little out there. A nice mix of danger and excitement for what many would consider low pay.
6. Fortune Cookie Writer
Yes, we've all wondered who the heck writes those fortunes in English! Finishing a take-out Chinese meal isn't only full of MSG, but those delightfully witty pieces of advice that people are so quick to heed.
7. Pet Detective
Another one we might have missed if it weren't for a film or television show.
8. Cheese Sprayer
Don't worry; I am not talking about someone spraying chemicals on your cheese. This person is actually in charge of spraying either cheese or butter on popcorn.
9. IMAX Screen Cleaner
If you've ever seen an IMAX screen, these things are huge!
10. Chimney Sweeper
Here is another job which could be more on the dirty side. The unfortunate person partaking in this age old profession is sure to be covered in soot and ash by the end of the day. It a fact that around the turn of the twentieth century people use to use young children tochimney sweep because they were small enough to fit inside the tiny chimneys some structures used.
11. Light Bender
Making neon lights seems like it would be a relatively easy job, but it requires a lot of precision and electrical work.
12. Odd Job Journalist
This writer gets actually paid money to write articles about other weird and odd jobs that exist.
13. Professional Whistler

14. Fountain Pen Repairer
Honestly, I think most of us would have to be fairly wealthy and care a hell of a lot about our fountain pens to have them repaired rather than go buy another pen.
15. Snake Milker
If you ever get bitten by a poisonous snake you'll be grateful these people know how towork with animals.
16. Wrinkle Chasers
Nobody likes that crease that shoes get after about a month right below the toe line.
17. Rodeo Clowns
I know that I've always been fascinated with those Spaniards in Pamplona who risk their lives in the running of the bulls, but rodeo clowns do it for a living.
18. Cow Hoof Trimmer
Just like horseshoes, cows need some hoof maintenance too. These fine animals can have poor milk production, lameness, and decreased fertility if not properly groomed.
19. Chicken Sexer
Going through baby chicks and separating them according to sex.
20. Ostrich Babysitter
Apparently this guy gets to sit in a field full of ostrich and make sure that they didn't peck each other to death or get stolen.
21. Furniture Tester
Ever been sitting in your favorite chair or sofa and say to yourself, man I wish I could do this for a living.
22. Cartoon People/Mascots
Remember when you went to Disneyworld for the first time when you were eight? You got to meet Mickey Mouse and Goofey!
23. Oyster Floater
They float oysters on a barge in running water until they are completely free of impurities, also a short term storage method. Sounds like a cranberry field full of oysters and I can imagine this isn't the cleanest job in the world.
24. Neck Skewer
Basically this job involves skewing the neck of beef halves with a steel rod after the head of the cow has been removed.
25. Adult Store Attendant
One of the more harder-to-stomach professions, unless you're a pervert. Sooner or later we have to get into some nasty jobs.
26. Braille Translator
Someone has to modify all sorts of texts and convert them to Braille for the blind. This can include novels, music, textbooks, and brochures.
27. Ski Slope Illustrator
Fortune Magazine has also done some investigating and sure enough there is someone out there who has to draw those trail maps on the ski slopes around the world.
28. Dog Food Tester
Watch out guys, this gal is going to have some great breath in store for you.
29. Gum Buster
Have you ever sat in a park bench and had the misfortune of placing your hand in old gum?
30. Fantasy Broker
If you want your dreams to come true then talk to these folks. Their job is to make sure that if you want something, you get it. Kind of like aconcierge of life.
31. Golf Ball Diver
I know every time I hit the range, about three balls head into the water and I suspect it's the same way for most. These quasi-scubas get in there and find all those balls and probably clean them up for resale.
32. Whiskey Ambassador
Let's face it, this is every over 21 year old's dream job. You would be responsible for choosing only the finest whiskeys and teaching your clients the proper way to taste and admire the different attributes which this delicious liquor can possess.
33. Nasty Stunt Producer
Perhaps you've tuned in to shows like Fear Factor which use insane stunts involving all sorts of insect and animal parts intended on grossing the contestants out. Well this profession's job is to research these insects and animals and make sure the stunts are safe and appropriate for the shows.
34. Forest Fire Lookout
If you happen to be an extreme hermit who has very little time to do important things, there might be a national park out there that will pay you (a very low wage) to sit in a tower and make sure none of those pesky landscape altering fires occur.

Don't get too excited all you slackers, that's not what I'm talking about.Weed farmers actually grow weeds rather than trying to get rid of them.

37. Dice Inspector
With one false move of a single die a person can lose quite a bit of money on those craps tables. The dice inspector checks for proportionality, specific angles, and blemishes.
