20 Oddest Jobs

I know this has nothing to do with my content but i saw it on msn and thought it was really interesting and cool and thought i'd just share it with my viewers :)

If you've ever daydreamed about finding a job that lets you play with legos, crack safes or ride around in the Weinermobile, you don't need to wake up, you just need to look in the right places. In the United States, where a varied group of 9-to-5 professionals appear to dominate the working world, there is still room for unique employment. Nancy Rica Schiff's books, "Odd Jobs," and its sequel "Odder Jobs," showcase portraits of individuals across America with some of the most out-of-the-ordinary occupations. From dog food testers to odor judges, Schiff introduces readers to people and jobs existing beyond the usual classifieds.

Here are some of Schiff's Odd Jobs:
1. Coffin MakerWhat they do: Build customized coffins, ranging from simple pine caskets to bejeweled boxes.

2. Potato Chip InspectorWhat they do: Oversee potato chips on an assembly line and check for overcooked or clumped chips to discard.

3. Wax Figure MakerWhat they do: Mold wax to create figures, often, but not limited to, the human form. Figures are often made in the likeness of people who have achieved historical or celebrity recognition.

4. Foot ModelWhat they do: Work as a "parts model," modeling their feet for advertisements that feature footwear, lotions and other related-products.

5. Golf Ball DiverWhat they do: Search the depths of golf course bodies of water to find lost golf balls to refinish and resell.
