Now that’s a weird job!
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
In honor of the upcoming Labor Day holiday, let’s take a look at some really weird jobs that people actually do to earn an honest living. The list compiled by JobProfiles includes some gag-inducing gigs (hair-boiler, dog food tester, cow hoof trimmer) and some wacky jobs that actually sound fun (fortune cookie writer, cartoon mascots and my personal favorite - “whiskey ambassador”). For the skeptics, here’s a picture of a dog food tester in action.
What is the weirdest job you have ever had? Send us photos of you on the job at your odd occupation.

I have a job as a “truth checker” with the Obama ‘08 campaign. Still waiting on the first one…

Well, I have a job as an “ethics trainer” for the McCain campaign, and haven’t heard from them since Johnny McSame accepted millions of dollars from the oil industry and changed his stand on offshore drilling.

that’s so funny! i have a job as a “sense-maker” for the libertarian party, but the platform makes so much sense already to people who think for themselves, that i’m stuck trying to explain logic and common sense to people who have no grasp of either concept. it’s tough!
