Who knew you could make money milking snakes, tasting pet food, or being a professional cuddler? It turns out that nowadays, you really can be anything you want to be. Even a mermaid...
The world as we knew it has changed, and so have career paths. Children once dreamed of becoming doctors, teachers, firefighters, lawyers, or even the president, but there's an endless pool of weird and wonderful jobs out there that many of us had no clue even existed. Believe it or not, some pay really well. An intimacy coordinator, for example, can rake in $1,100 per day, while a fortune cookie writer could take home over $50k a year.
Someone asked netizens, "What are some unconventional career paths I don't know about?" and many of the responses might inspire you to quit your own boring 9-5 job to become a cricket farmer, guide dog trainer, or superhero lingerie designer instead.
