A

Feeling a bit bored with your job and fancy a change? Why not try one of these jobs out? They're probably

not to everyone's taste, but believe it or not, these are actually real jobs done by real people.

Here are the top 5 weirdest jobs in the world:

1. Professional sleeper:

A hotel in Finland hired a member of staff as a 'professional sleeper' to test the comfort of their beds. The

individual sleeps in a different one of the hotel beds each night and writes a review about her satisfaction with each 3 one.

2. Drying paint watcher:

No, this isn't a joke. Someone actually earns a living watching paint dry. A man in the UK currently has the

job and he spends his days painting sheets of cardboard to test how long new paint mixes take to dry and watching

for changes in color and texture.

3.Train Pusher:

If you think the London Underground is bad, you should see the trains in Japan. 'Oshiyas' are hired to help

cram as many people onto a train as possible by pushing them from the outside until the doors will close.

4. Snake Milker:

Not for the light-hearted. The job of a snake milker is to collect the venom of poisonous snakes in jars for use

in anti-venoms and other medication. Thank god someone's brave enough!

5.Scuba Diving Pizza Delivery Man:

If the fact that there's an underwater hotel in Florida isn't bizarre enough, to add on to that, they have a scuba

diving pizza delivery man who supplies them with pizza by carrying them through the sea in a watertight case.

Do you do an unusual job? We'd love to hear about it, so let us know!

21. In which job is a job-seeker's strength a necessity?

A. Scuba Diving Pizza Delivery Man B. Train Pusher

C. Professional sleeper D. Snake Milker

22. Which job could not be your cup of tea if you were not brave enough?

A. Drying paint watcher B. Train Pusher
