1. Professional sleeper

“I wish I could be paid for sleeping” is something most of us have thought at some point in our lives, mostly right after we have to wake up to go to work. What if we were to tell you that you could actually get paid to sleep? In some cases, you’ll earn a lot (depending on where you sleep).
A professional sleeper is a serious occupation and provides services that are required in many modern industries. From researchers (who regularly need sleep testers for various experiments) to mattress brands that need sleepers to test their products and artists who require sleeping subjects, professional sleeping could be a lucrative career if you advertise yourself well enough.

2. Mourners

Yes. You get paid to cry.
The job consists of showing up to the funeral and staging a believable session of mourning—complete with physically breaking down and wailing. And its normal in China.

3. Futurist

If it sounds like someone who sits around all day and makes predictions like a fortune-teller, it absolutely is—except that the predictions have to be backed by data.
It is one of the more accessible jobs on this list (though not for scientific fields). In fact, anyone can apply to be a futurist as many New Age firms are starting to see the importance of the position. [6]
A futurist’s role is to study current dataand make reasonable predictions about future trends based on that information. A government may employ a futurist to predict social changes in order to estimate taxes in the future. An advertising firm may try to find out what kind of messaging consumers are likely to respond to 20 years from now.

4. Odor Judge

You guessed it (presumably from the title of this entry). Odorjudges determine the best smell for a particular product. Obviously, they have to go through plenty of bad odors, like those from armpits, to come up with a deodorant to counter the smell.
It may sound like a horrible job, but it’s also a crucial one. They also deal with issues like whether a particular type of seafood is contaminated by a nearby oil spill. Of course, you must have a keen sense of smell to qualify for this job, and it may end up paying quite well if you work at a large organization.

Professional mourners have been existing in Nigeria even before the colonial era.
