jobs

When we're feeling down, there's nothing like a good romantic comedy to give us those warm fuzzies. At least, up until the credits roll and we see our sad selves reflected in the dark screen covered in chocolate ice cream stains with no one to love but the neighbor's cat! Am I right ladies??

….Ladies?

Ahem...well anyway, have you ever thought about how screwed the economy would be if women in real life were all bakery-owners or journalists like they all are in rom-coms?

One day, I was about seven-years-old when my dad brought me home a bunch of spare stationery from his office. We're talking highlighters, sticky notes, pens, and a stapler.

Oh, to be that blissfully naive again. The phrase 'truth from the mouth of babes' is a reality that many parents live each day. Someone Tweeted, "My friend's daughter was asked by her teacher what does her mother do for a living. Miss thing said move papers around and talk on the phone. My friend is a judge." It received thousands of likes and shares, with people responding with similar funny examples of what they think their parents do for a living. Kids really do say the darndest things!

While most of us work your average nine to five job as a lawyer, a postman, a nail technician, or a teacher, thousands of people out there are working pretty obscure jobs. From regulating cheese to moving ships in and out of harbors to even being a chimney sweep (yes that's still a thing apparently), these people share the obscure jobs they have and the reactions they get when they tell people what they do. Some of them are pretty bizarre!
