Unusual jobs

My name is Mark and I’m a professional at standing in line. How many times have you had to stand in a very long line for concert tickets or movie tickets, or to buy something?

I’m Sarah and I’m a tea taster. Do you like tea? If you do, you could get paid for tasting it! However, it can take up to five years of training to do the job of a professional tea taster. Some tea tasters taste several hundred cups of tea each day, unlike normal tea drinkers who drink far less tea.

 

My name is Samantha. I’m a listening officer. Like many people, I read what customers are saying about a product on social media, but I get paid a lot of money by companies to do this. This information is then used by a company to improve the product based on the customers’ comments.

 

I’m Joe and I’m a golf ball diver. Have you ever thought about what happens to all the golf balls that end up in the water on golf courses? The balls don’t stay there as divers like me go into the water and recover the balls. They are then sold as second-hand or practice golf balls.
