Gone are those days when dad bore our expenses, mom stuffed our mouths with food, welcome
to the adult life!
Once you are out of college, you learn that earning money isn't an easy task.
NEED TO GET A JOB!
Uhmm but most jobs pay you peanuts in return of a week-long slogging, so what to do?
For many of us "the creative ideas" are too impractical and we end up with the regular
jobs but for people on this list, boring is not an option because they have come up with
bizarre ideas to make money!
Sit through this video and take inspiration!
Number 10.
Professional sleepers WHAT?
Is that even a thing?
Mattresses and bed manufacturers hire professional sleepers to get into a slumber on their newly
made mattress and review its quality in the morning.
Throughout the night, the sleeper's heart rate is monitored to see if they received
proper sleep.
A professional sleeper can earn anywhere between $3,000-$10,000 by participating in a scientific
experiment for 2-4 weeks!
Wow!
Someone please pay us to sleep, this is our dream job, LITERALLY!
Number 9.
Selling virginity While most of us want our first time to be
special, there are many who think of it as a money making 'exercise'!
Since the 1990's people are using the internet to auction their virginities and that was
a shock because traditionally you are supposed to keep it safe till marriage!
Anyway, one of the most expensive auction occurred in 2014 when Elizabeth Raine, a 27-year-old
medical student received a final bid of $801,000 for her virginity but backed out of the deal!
Can you believe it?
Number 8.
Subway crammers Is the name misleading because this isn't
any competition for stuffing your mouth with subway sandwiches!
Okay people the next time you travel to Japan, make sure you aren't commuting through the
subway during rush hours because you'll be pushed into that overcrowded train by oshiyas!
Don't be angry because hello, that's their job, they get paid to stuff maximum people
into the subway which is already jam packed!
We can't imagine ourselves being shoved like that, time to reconsider our vacation
plans, sorry Japan!
Number 7.
Line sitting You want to buy the latest iPhone the day
it is being launched, cool.
But it won't stay this way when you have to wait on the street in a line for hours
before you can finally get your hands on the treasured thing!
You ask why?
Oh people, you'll be sweating and irritated by the end and if that's not how you want
to see it, hire a line sitter for yourself!
Yea people, there is a whole industry where you can pay someone to sit through a never
ending line for you.
Okay video gamers, the job is definitely for you, wait for someone in a line while you
score points in your favorite game and get a juicy paycheck at the end, not bad!
Number 6.
Wearing t-shirts Earning money by simply wearing clothes, sounds
just impossible unless you are a model, right?
Wrong!
Back in 2008 when recession hit hard and people were losing jobs, Jason Zook came up with
a mind blowing idea to make money.
He started a company IWearYourShirt under which he would wear t-shirts with company
logos on them, make videos, click pictures and post it all online.
He managed to bag a whopping $1 million in revenue from January 2009 to May 2013 by working
with 1600 businesses!
Why didn't we think of it?
Number 5.
Cuddling It's so cute when you get to cuddle with
someone after a tiring day at work!
But it's sad when you have no one to cuddle with, the worst feeling ever *sigh*!
You don't have to bear that, because you can now hire a professional to cuddle with
you, cool!
Only that it isn't free, uhmm paying to cuddle isn't romantic but the deal isn't
that bad either!
In cities like Tokyo, London and Los Angeles, this is a huge industry where cuddlers can
make $300 or more a day on hourly basis!
Number 4.
Paid friendship Who doesn't want friends?
How will long hours of gossiping or dinner and drinks or movie nights be possible if
we do not have friends?
Chill, because you can rent out friendships if you are failing to make friends for free!
Yes, that really is a profession people believe it or not!
Websites like rentafriend.com allows people to put up their profile on the site and advertise
their friendship, cool!
So people looking for company can scroll through these profiles and get their friend match!
You pay them and get to choose the place, time and activity but since it is pure friendship,
there is no touching!
Full time paid friends can make $2,000 a week, that's pretty decent!
Number 3.
Getting married A life decision that you take for companionship
or love has money making motives as well, does that sound strange?
It shouldn't because we find such couples everywhere who weren't matched up by love
or destiny but money played cupid in their story!
Time and again many women have been accused of marrying men only for money.
Though we often say that love is blind and it is beyond age, race and looks, it is fishy
when a young model gets married to a man with grey in his hair and gold in his bank!
What would you say?
Number 2.
Pretending illness Falling ill and then heading to the doctor
is a trip all of us hate but uhmm NOT ALL of us!
What if you are getting paid to go to the doctor?
It isn't thrilling but let's just say you aren't really sick; you are just pretending!
Confused?
You are hired to train medical students by pretending to be sick and meet with the doctor.
You need to have acting abilities and also be able to mug up the case history and family
background that you will be provided by the hospital authorities.
It's cool when you know you can make $10-20 an hour, not bad!
Number 1.
Sell their life This one is surely very bizarre but, strangely,
also very true.
In 2008, Mike Merrill stumbled upon a unique idea to mint money, it was selling himself
on the open market!
He divided himself in 100,000 shares and sold them for $1 each.
Though he did make money but you can well imagine it did not come out so good in the
end.
The shareholders interfered with every decision in his life be it buying a car, changing hair
color, vasectomy or breaking up with his girlfriend!
Who's ready to play a nonexistent role in their own life?
Which of these professions shocked you the most?
