Hey Mike I don't know if you actually read these and respond but if you do I just want to let you know that I am glad you are back. I truly get up everyday and look forward to seeing if you have posted a new video. I have cancer and I am going through all of the chemo and radiation therapy and all that stuff so it is very draining for me to do a lot of stuff. The one thing that I am able to do without using a lot of energy is watch RU-vid. So you put a smile on my face and I really enjoy your videos. Thanks for giving me a smile because they don't come around to often anymore. LOVE THE VIDEOS BROTHER !!!!!!!!!!!!!
I sure do! Thank you for the kind words, and I'm sorry for all you're going through. My dad had leukemia so I know the struggle secondhand. I'm pulling for you!
I pray that I these 6 months since your original post that you have improved. Sending love and a good Ole country hug 🤗 from Arkansas!! You take care now darling.
I just want you guys to know that not only this is a great video. This now opens up a list of things that I might be able to do. I am currently legally blind and some of these jobs sound like jobs that I would be eligible for. Not sure but it's worth a try. Thanks for the info and great video guys this may be able to land me a job that I don't need my site for. I really appreciate it I've been out of work for over 12 years this could change my life. No joke
@@melaniejenkins2754 I really appreciate it. I've struggled with a lot of things in life. Diabetes, dialysis, neuropathy, arthritis and other things. I'll be 36 and this opened my eyes to a whole new world. Hope you have a wonderful holiday
Thrilled for you! Also, it's horrifying that there aren't resources made available to you to assist with job seeking & so on. By your name, I'm thinking you may be a fellow American...so I'm not actually surprised though. Here in New York, we may not be the best, but we have some options. How's things going?
One of the most interesting jobs I ever had was bartender at the Sea World San Diego Anheuser Busch Hospitality Center. My main function was drawing samples of Anheuser Busch products for visitors and guest. Another duty was making sure that people who already had their two sample per day limit didn't try to get more samples by returning to the Hospitality Center later in the day.
Definitely not! I love the smell of books and paper. Another one that I like, is how the paper smells when it comes freshly out of a copy machine, and it's still warm.
My strangest job was "Final Resting Place Engineer". Yes that's right, I was a grave digger. No, we did not use shovels, we used a small backhoe, no getting into said graves required. The backhoe we used was specifically designed for the job and was only 2.5 feet wide with very soft tires that would not tear up the grass when in motion. The top priority of the job was Respect.
I had a classmate whose brother was a golf ball diver at a local Country Club for exactly...one summer. He absolutely HATED the job because, and I'm quoting my classmate who's quoting his brother here, "A bunch of rich assholes would take pot shots at me before and after dives"
One of the MANY MANY jobs my dad did was wrangling the snakes that the snake milker's milked. He went on snake hunting trips to find new snakes for the medical university where we lived. They taught how to milk snakes as part of their curriculum.
I’ve never had any truly odd jobs. Probably the most “unusual” is my current job: pastry chef and chocolatier. It’s not an odd job, just one that not many people have. I love what I do!!
I should imagine if you are an odour sniffer or any other kind of sniffer, you probably have to get your sense of smell insured. I once watched a documentary about a pet food factory, where there was a pet food taster. 😁
I used to be a church organ builder years ago. Mostly tuning and restoration typevwork. Some new jobs, from beginning to end, can take well over a year. I've spent 2 years on one job. I believe the organ in the Albert Hall in London, took nearly 4 years to complete. Even after theat, it will still need regular tuning and maintenance.
I LOOOVE smelling new paper - books, printer paper, and yes, paper towels. They don't have a "scent" per sé, but do smell clean and new. So yup, it's a thing. Then again, I use my sense of smell a lot - just about everything I buy.
You missed out sagger makers bottom knocker. A sagger is a sand mould used to make ceramics, making them is a very skilled job. After they have been used a somewhat less skilled person is employed to turn the sagger over and knock the sand out from the bottom, hence a sagger maker's bottom knocker.
@@medianoche3 Try making orange vanilla soap. It smells great. I don't know if you've ever had a dream cycle (vanilla ice cream on a stick covered in orange sherbert. Everyone kept asking me all day where they could get some. I gave away a lot of bars that day.)
Oh my god Mike you're back!!!!! Just discovered this by chance!!! Was subscribed for years and when those other took over I unsubscribed. You bet I'm back subscribed now. You look great by the way!!!
I'm considering taking on a house sitting job position for extra money one that may involved ranchers because it's hard to get people that know how to maintain animals like that I live in Montana so I have experience.
**meekly raises hand** I actually do enjoy smelling sheets of paper. HOWEVER, it has to be those brown paper towels that you find in some public restrooms. I don't think any other paper towel hits the same way. I know no one cares but I have a theory for why this is the case. I also like the smell of cardboard, and it smells similar to cardboard, so maybe those paper towels are actually super thin pieces of cardboard. Probably not but that's my only explanation for that.
#25: as kids we would take our canoe over to the golf course. One hole was right on the lake so we get out and pick up balls that landed in the water. We would then sell them to the club for their driving range. More fun and paid better than picking up returnable bottles.
I had a temp job as a company spy. My boss and I were wired and pretended to be a couple getting our picture made at a rival traveling studio at a department store. We pretended my “husband” was thinking about taking a similar job and pumped him for info on his: hours, pay, commission, etc.
I work in the office of an amusement & water park. We have professional mermaids every season. They make GOOD money! But it's not as easy as it sounds. They have to be able to swim in costume underwater with their eyes open and smiling. Their movements above water are restricted yet they entertain little kids by playing with them, face painting, etc. They also have to go from area to area via a "water wagon". LOL but it's all true and kids love them!
I used to paint airplanes...small ones, like Cessna 185's. Do a web searching for a Christian Eagle, I painted one of those - all the colored feathers!
I have seen ads for death sitters, people who sit with a person so they won't die alone. Also, scene continuity in movie. Example: the flowers on the grave in City Slickers slip-up.
My local golf course is next to a canal, actually part of The Grand Union Canal. Imagine diving into a canal to retrieve golf balls, but it must be more dangerous in Florida. 😁🐊 There's a rat who recently retired who was a mine detector, who got a medal, for his service.
I do love the scent of unscented paper. Paper towels smell good, but not as good as notebook paper, and nothing smells better than book paper. (New or old)
You fooled us good Mike. Why don't they have the pet test the food? Or professional usher? I'm surprised you didn't put armpit sniffer on the list again.
Making soap is fun and dangerous work. I truly enjoy making it. I quit for a long time but now my husband has retired, he said we would travel, but he's not in any hurry so I thought making soap would get him up and going because it stinks during part of the process. lol We are in our 70's and I want to travel. I love your videos, Mike, I'm so glad you're back, I'll start watching again. You made everything interesting and sometimes funny.
If the paper doesn't smell like anything, that is the way I want it. I do not want the paper towel I use to make a peanut butter sandwich (or peanut butter taco) to smell like a bed of lilacs.
I knew an aeroplane painter years ago. Basically, the paint work had to be perfect first time, every time. He had to know, in detail, about every different paint, spray gun etc. And woe betide the responsible paint crew if a job wasn't perfect and it had to be stripped off completely and re-done!
In the 90’s I was a “live good girl” in a reptile shop. Basically I was someone who pre-killed snake food like mice and rats…..I also milked snake venom for a while for hospitals as well and caught and relocated poisonous snakes from populated areas too
When I was younger there was a little convenience shop near my house on the Main Street. The guy who owned the shop used to pay me to cross over the road to the rival store and report back to him on what discounts were being offered so he could do the same and compete. Safe to say 12 year old me felt very cool but in reality the other store owner probably knew exactly what I was upto every time.
I had a professor in college who used the same test sheets every year(we had to buy computer testing cards at the campus bookstore). We always knew when the test was being handed out, even without looking, these test papers reeked of mothballs. He swore he did not use mothballs.
People with reduced sight would be incredible sensory scientists. Thier sense of touch is so refined. Bizzarly my cousin had an accident in the 90s she recovered bit a wierd side effect was she was left with an incredibly sensitive sense of smell. She worked for a perfumier for about 8 years. She could detect all the notes and balance of scent
Golf Club Grip Maker. Using a rubber mold injection machine. Which is creates an enormous amount of heat. Add that to living in the Phoenix Metro area, and that is the reason I only did that job for a couple months during the summer before I quit.
I was employed by a skating rink when I was a teenager and one of my jobs was to climb behind the video games and flush out teenagers who were making out. The awkward part was going to school with the same teenagers on Monday morning!
My worst job ever was a weird job. I was sent to a dog shelter/ pound by a temp service. My job was janitorial mostly, but I quit the second time they made me fill dog coffins. These are boxes to burn the dogs that could not be adopted or just didn't get adopted and they had to euthanize them. This was my 3rd day and I just could not deal with it.
Wasn't the TV and movie thing because of the Neilsen ratings? I wish I had that job back in the day, I have cataloged over 50,000 movies and 2000 shows in the past 30 years.
I definitely could do the cuddle job. I love to cuddle and I am a good listener. It sounds like a job I could do. I don't know if it's the truth or not, but I have heard that there's a job where your paid to hold new babies. The thing is most of these babies are born premature or really sick and the job involves spending hours holding these tiny babies. Which is also something I could do.
Job over summer college break, picking bugs and left over plant stems out of vegetables going to canning. 25 cents a not vegetable item caught in route. Plus low hourly rage.
My strangest job was being a Christmas tree in a mall. It was a disgusting job as you sweated really bad and then you would have to pass the Christmas tree to the next worker full of someone else’s sweat.
You might have mentioned being a maternity nurse, a big breasted woman who gets paid good money to breast feed newborn babies. Another unusual job is being a professional scarecrow. People are paid money to use various tactics to keep birds out of fields and orchards. And then there's professional toilet flushers. There's people like at airports who constantly check restrooms to make sure toilets are properly flushed. Great way to liven up a party, in telling people what you do for a living
