Teddy Bear Repair Technician
Build-A-Bear Workshop in St. Louis does more than just sell teddy bears. Visitors to its website can order a unique cuddly toy which is created by themselves, and it is made it a company that currently makes $395 million.
Since it creates unique items, one can’t simply go into a store and buy another teddy bear if one becomes damaged, so the company employs two teddy bear technicians, Robin Brussell and Maria Kaiser, who fix the toys that are damaged and return them to their owners. Brussell told CNBC.com that the most frequent trauma of the toys is dog attacks.
Bed Tester
No matter who you are or what you do for a living, you occasionally have days where you want nothing better than to take a rest and stay in bed. Some people have taken that desire and turned it into a career as a bed tester.
A bed tester is someone who jumps on beds to test comfort. It may sound funny, but it is serious business to professional bed tester Natalie Thomas, who works for the Premier Inn hotel chain in the U.K. She and her team have to test all of the chain’s 46,000 beds. In 2011, she earned $6.3 million.
Face Feeler
Companies that manufacture razor blades claim that their products offer the closest shave you can get. One way companies can prove this fact is to have someone use their product, then have someone else touch the newly shaved face and testify to its silky smoothness.
The person who performs this duty is known as a face feeler, who will also perform this service on someone who has used a moisturizer or other skin care product.
