These 11 jobs really exist and now you're considering a career switch

Do you remember when you were younger, you wanted to become things you now dream of. Because mermaid or candy taster or bear hugger were not an option, said dad or mom. Well, it's time to show that they were wrong. Just apply.

1. Professional bridesmaid

Just join the line next to the bride and groom and do that for a living. I just suspect that you have nothing to say about the dresses. But who cares, of course, if you love weddings.

2. The filler

For when a celebrity doesn't show up at an important event. Nothing worse than an empty front-row seat, which you and your behind will fill.

3. Food stylist

I've even met one in real life. You have to make sure the most delicious food looks its best. Tasty is different, because sometimes cans of hairspray come into play to fix the food.

4. Professional vodka drinker

You don't just have to taste vodka, but you also keep an eye on the trends in vodka land. Cheers.

5. Panda nanny

Your only task: make sure the pandas feel loved and sometimes cuddle a bit. Dream job!

6. Celeb stand-in

Because celebs are apparently so busy, a light check on set is equivalent to wasting time. They sometimes let a stand-in do that, who indeed gets paid.

7. Professional cuddler

That slides around 54 euros, per session we suspect. So if you keep it short and firm, you can cash in. I'm afraid I'll never become this. 

8. Fortune cookie writer

You earn a solid 47,000 euros with that. I just hope for the writers that they don't have to stuff those notes into the cookies themselves.

9. Mermaid

And we thought this was a fairy tale. By the way, you do have to learn how to swim with a fin and a requirement is that you can hold your breath for a long time, but then the job is yours.

10. Taster

Alongside vodka tasters, there are also chocolate tasters. With the risk that within a week you won't be able to close your pants, tea taster is also an option. The company Tetley has insured the tongue of their tea taster for a million euros, so your salary probably won't be that bad.

11. Netflix tagger

Watching and coming up with the right tags for a movie or series, that's it.
