Grey halls, dreary cubicle mazes and reams of paper. These are the images\u00a0that spring to mind when one\u00a0thinks of jobs.<\/span><\/p>\n

But there\u2019s a lucky breed of people who, on the face of it, seem to have the best jobs ever. And no we aren\u2019t talking about the usual suspects – the movie stars.<\/span><\/p>\n

Whether it\u2019s swimming in the blue oceans to guzzling alcohol\u00a0as part of their jobs, these guys treat themselves to a sensory overload – all in a day\u2019s work. Call them crazy, bizarre or just dream jobs, these jobs are not your average 9-5.<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Professional Snuggler<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Not all hugs are free hugs. In New York and a few other parts in the world, a bizarre profession called “Professional Snugglers” is on the rise. These “snugglers<\/a><\/span>“, \u00a0purport to discomfort an aching heart or just a lonely heart who needs some good ol’ snuggling, and don’t mind paying for it. This is strictly non sexual and a hot client is just a job perk!<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Dolphin trainer<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Dolphin<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

What\u2019s not fun about jumping into the cool blue ocean ( or the pool for that matter) and bonding with these adorable creatures of the water? Nothing at all. However it\u2019s not all fun and games, as dolphin trainers are skilled professionals and are tasked with training the dolphins to perform tricks for performance shows.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Wine taster<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Yup, it\u2019s a real job. Wine companies around the world hire specialists called \u201cSommeliers\u201d to taste different wines (and other alcohol) and judge them on the various aspects such as appearance, flavor, aroma, feel, and the after-effects. Ahem. Now who minds getting high on some classy, expensive wine, and get paid for it to boot! “Hey Jill, there, I’m sorry but you just didn’t guzzle enough beer this season. I’m sorry but we’ll have to give you a pay cut”. \u00a0Read our interview with Karina Aggarwal<\/a><\/span>, one of the few professional wine and alcohol sommeliers from India.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

4. Travel show host<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Travel<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

You mean these people get paid to look great, get popular, eat the most exotic foods and travel around the world?<\/span><\/p>\n

Yes, don\u2019t hate us.\u00a0But hey a frequent jet lag can\u2019t be too fun. Right, right? If not a travel show host, you can always become a professional travel bloggers, and get paid to write about a destination.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

5. Ladies\u2019 tailor<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Tailor<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

In a country where the men are deeply deprived, and physical affection isn\u2019t openly expressed, this must be dream gig for the men who get to, umm, \u00a0size up a woman well and good, and get away with it.<\/span><\/p>\n

Not to mention, these guys have it in them to make or break a woman\u2019s day with their handiwork.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a06<\/strong><\/span>. Subtitler<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

\"StockPhoto_FriendsWatchingMovies\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Get paid to watch movies. Yup, that is pretty much what this job entails. Notice all those subtitles on movies and TV shows? There are people out there who do that. They\u2019re locked up in a room, play movies and write down what they hear.\u00a0Popcorn is strictly optional. Bangalore based company Deluxe does exactly that when it hires people to write subtitles for Hollywood movies.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

7. Mystery Shopper<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

\"shopping-girl-wide\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Most girls earn to shop. This one pays you to shop!<\/span><\/p>\n

Whether it\u2019s to study consumer behaviour while shopping or just to get feedback on the retail and visual merchandise set up of a shop, mystery shopping is an upcoming field, which\u00a0quite simply, pays one to shop. Excuse me, I\u2019d like to buy this expensive dress, while I draw up the SWOT analysis of your business. Ecommerce website have their own version of mystery shoppers and sites like Flipkart and Amazon are known to employ mystery shoppers<\/a><\/span> to judge their experience and weed out fraudulent sellers.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a08. Florist<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"florist\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Yes, because being surrounded by the prettiest flowers and the sweetest fragrances isn’t exactly taxing. And you get to make an unknown stranger’s day as well.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

9. Bubblewrap factory worker<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

\"bandi-bubble-wrap-p_marked\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Oh imagine the self control!<\/span><\/p>\n

Bored? Pop some. Waiting? \u00a0Pop some? Need to test quality? Pop some.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

10. Chief Happiness Officer<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

To make people happy. Yup, that’s their job. The Chief Happiness Officers at the Hyderabad based surprise arranging startup\u00a0OyeHappy<\/span><\/a> are in charge of making sure they delight and surprise people and make their days, occasion or not.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Surprises-oye-happy\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

11. Mattress Testers<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"mattress<\/p>\n

This is a dream job that literally involves some dreaming. We were not sure if this is a real job or an HR’s sense of humour at play, but after coming across this opening at Urban Ladder<\/a><\/span>, it’s confirmed it exists. Now this is a job you wouldn’t mind being caught napping at.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
