8 Weirdest Jobs That You Can Apply For
6. Subway Crammer
What it involves: Lots of pushing. Tokyo is one of the largest cities in the world, with well over than 37 million people living in the metropolitan area. Most opt for public transport, so you can imagine how insanely crowded it gets on those subway platforms. How do they get as many passengers into the subway cars as possible? By shoving them in like a can of sardines!
What you need to be successful: Strong biceps and pectoral muscles, one would presume.
7. Worm Collector
What it involves: Remember as a kid when the end of rain meant you could leave your home and go hunting for worms? It’s sort of like that, but now you’re a full grown adult. With adult challenges. Oh, and you’re getting paid. Gas stations and bait shops are in need of worms, and since the worms are unlikely to wander into these establishments on their own, your assistance in collecting them on the sidewalks and in the soil would be much appreciated, kind sir/lady.
What you need to be successful: A lack of apathy towards the plight of the worms.
8. Professional Mourner
What it involves: In certain Southeast Asian cultures, a funeral full of loud, wailing guests will provide the deceased with a smoother journey into the afterlife. The most effective way to achieve this is by hiring people to attend funerals and sob away. Evidently it doesn’t matter whether the mourning is actually sincere. They just have to be convincing actors.
What you need to be successful: A loud, booming voice that looks at the dead 90 year-old man while crying out, “Why him and not me???”
