Professional Bridesmaid:
Similar to a wedding planner but not one. Not a celebrant but an important component of a wedding.

You could also be hired as the bride’s friend for hire, organizer, confidant, or an uncomplaining member of the wedding party.
Hippotherapist :
Hippotherapy literally translates as “treatment with the aid of the horse.” You would use horses’ movement and therapeutic qualities to assist human patients in overcoming speech, physical, or mental health issues.
But having experience with them and loving them is insufficient. Before you may specialize in this area, you must complete your education and obtain licensure as a physical therapist, occupational therapist, or speech-language pathologist.
Pet Food Taster:
Since the pet food market is a multimillion-dollar one, it should not be surprising that it is treated seriously. Pet owners are fussy about the ingredients, health benefits, and fragrance of the food they are feeding their cherished pets, so it’s not just pets who are finicky eaters.

When you get hired, you can find yourself in a line for the latest iPhone, game console, concert, or athletic event tickets, among other things. If someone else needs a spot held because they are too busy or don’t want to wait in line themselves, you would be paid. If you wish to sign up, there are even websites and apps you can use to book these services.
Face Reader:
The term “sensory scientists” is another name for face feelers, and it sounds much more impressive.
In this position, you would use your hands to feel the skin’s differences before and after product testers applied lotions, creams, and other goods.
Paper Towel Sniffer:
Manufacturers of paper towels hire odor judges, sometimes known as paper towel sniffers (there are persons with this job title on LinkedIn). To determine whether things smell good, you would nose test them (or not). However, positions can be few, and you’ll need more than just a keen business sense to compete.
Worm Picker:
Worm pickers spend their days “searching” for and gathering earthworms outside. You might work for universities or other institutions that use the worms for teaching and research, or you might be hired by fishing companies to catch and package bait. Worms can also be sold directly to fishermen for use as bait.
There are no formal requirements, but if you’re paid per thousand worms collected, you’ll need some skills and dedication if you want to make a livelihood from this employment.
Gross Stunts Tester:
Admire programs like I’m a Celebrity Is it Survivor or Get Me Out of Here? You may have a career as a gross stunt tester if you’ve viewed the challenges and thought, “I could do that.”
You would need to practice and put all the obstacles to the test. You would be in charge of making sure that jobs are safe and contain the most grossness possible.
The upside is that you may make up to $800 every day, albeit you have to question whether there is actually much competition for the positions.
