Weird Jobs
Fun Trivia
Hate your job? Thinking now is the time for a new career? Or maybe you’re actively seeking employment. The search for a job that will pay the bills can be frustrating- but imagine having one of these job titles!
Chicken sexer: How would you like to be the one who sorts through baby chicks to determine whether they’re male or female?
Laughter therapist: Not just for comedians anymore! A laughter therapist actually teaches people to laugh-at themselves and the world- in order to better their mental health and spiritual well-being!
Hair boiler: Imagine coming home after a hard days’ work, smelling like your job as someone who boils animal hair for a living!
Vermiculturist: Ahem- worm farmer. Need anymore be said about that?
Cheese sprayer: It’s hard not to feel like the ‘Big Cheese’ when you’re in charge of the spray hose that controls spraying layers of cheese on popcorn!
Blueberry counter: You know what they say – too many blueberries spoil the pot!
Odor judgers: You’ve gotta have some sort of fetish to want to smell somebody’s funky pits for deodorant effectiveness!
Eye bank procurer: Gathering eyes and corneas for transplants and research, ya see?
Fish liver sorter: Just like it sounds- with buckets for livers of different sizes, shapes, colors and textures.
Still convinced you have the worst job ever? It could be worse! But hey – if it pays the bills…
[…] There’s an actual job title called “chicken sexer“. […]
[…] As a kid, I had some pretty imaginative ideas for jobs, but fish liver sorter was not one of them and honestly, none of the other weird jobs listed over at the Aviva Trivia Blog made my top ten. However, I did have an overwhelming sick fascination with killer bees – the “global warming” of the 1970’s. These buzzing menaces just never got much of a foothold in the rest of the US like the doomsayers predicted. In fact, the Aviva trivia blog mentions that they still have not progressed much beyong the southern states, like southern California, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada and Texas. Now that I am grown up I am more interested in the social behaviour of bees and ants, which have some very curious applications in artificial intelligence. […]
[…] I always love when I come across a blog that is going to require me to read it all the time because it has some really interesting content. The Aviva Trivia Blog is one of those places. It is a well written blog with all sorts of zaney off the wall commentary. Here’s one example from their blog talking about some of the weirdest jobs in the world: Chicken sexer: How would you like to be the one who sorts through baby chicks to determine whether they’re male or female?

[…] I love a bit of trivia especially when it’s on the net, if you are the same then I have a great website to share with you: Aviva Trivia Blog. The blog is completely dedicated to posting fun facts about different categories such as animals, clothing, history and make-up. They have a great article called Weird Jobs posted in late September, the ideas are imaginative and funny, things that you probably didn’t even realise were real jobs. Also ladies check out their Ten Alternative Uses for Hairspray, it’s a pretty useful article! I am looking forward to seeing what other funny facts they come up with. Bookmark to: […]
I had a friend who had a profoundly hideous job: she laid out body parts for the med students to work on in their anatomy classes. At night, no less.
halford – that’s a real test to see if you’re interested in anatomy (or cut out to go to med school).
[…] As long as we’re on the topic of working for pay, have you heard of a chicken sexer? How about a hair boiler? These are actual weird jobs. […]
Makes the average job look so mundane and boring…
[…] probably haven’t learned. There are some really interesting posts there like the one about weird jobs. I also found the post about animals that are no longer in our presence pretty interesting. This is […]
