What specialties fall into the category of rare

Irrelevant

A person is professionally in demand when there is a demand for what he does. No requests - no questions. Therefore, the first reason for the "rarity" of the profession is the lack of need for it.

AT staffing Many enterprises today are less and less likely to meet the profession of a packer, because the goods are now laid out in packaging by automatic lines. Conductors on public transport remained only in small settlements. Fewer postmen bring the good news to our homes because letters have become electronic, and fresh press is easy and quick to "get" on the Internet.

Even in the countryside, which is always more conservative than in the city, some yesterday's professions are losing their relevance today. In few villages you will meet shepherds and mowers. Handymen in the fields and fruit pickers were replaced by handy cars. And for some time, blacksmiths and potters turned from professions into an entourage to attract tourists. And only thanks to the revival of crafts, their labor was again used for its intended purpose.

highly specialized

Torcedor - a person who knows how to properly roll a cigar. To qualify for this specialty, you need to spend at least 10 years on training and practice.

parmesan listener . A rare specialist who has absolute pitch and is able to determine the maturity of parmesan with his ears. Cheese factories resort to the services of such professionals.

New

The professions that disappeared as useless were replaced by new specialties. Perhaps soon they will become as common as a dentist, chef or designer, but so far they are rare. Basically, these professions are associated with new technologies and scientific fields. Let's pay attention to some of them.

radiosurgeon . A doctor who uses one of the types radiotherapy for the treatment, removal or reduction of the functions of malignant, benign tumors and other pathologies without surgical intervention.

Rare specialties in our country

It is worth noting rare professions in Russia, in fact, they are no less than in other countries.

• sign language interpreter

A sign language interpreter is a specialist who knows sign language and is able to translate from any national language into sign language, or vice versa. In the world, a huge number of people communicate in sign language, thanks to which the profession of a sign language interpreter is in great demand in the labor market. However, there is a great shortage of specialists in this field, firstly, it is quite difficult, and secondly, there are not so many institutions where sign language interpreting is taught.

• postiger

The stylist is another rare profession that is mostly found in the theatrical field. A stylist specialist is engaged in the manufacture of wigs, as well as such interesting products as mustaches, beards, braids, sideburns.

Rare male professions

Rare professions of people can be divided into 2 groups: male and female. There is a whole list of male specialties that are extremely rare. Such activities are more likely not a job, but a vocation or a matter of life.

Dergal is considered such a male profession in Russia. Many people have never even heard the name of this profession. Dergal collects seaweed. This is a very difficult job, besides, it is strictly seasonal, which is not always convenient, but the salary of specialists in this field is quite good.

Another example of a rare profession among men is a cow shearer. You might think that no one needs it, but these are very sought-after personnel. Their services are used by cow owners who prepare animals for participation in various exhibitions and fairs.

Rare female professions

Now it is worth talking about women's specialties. There are many answers to the question of what professions are rare among women. Of course, in recent years, the boundary between male and female professions has noticeably blurred. However, there are still areas in which meeting a woman is a rarity.

• Gondolier

There is only one woman in the world who does this. hard work. She works in Venice, where this type of activity is traditionally considered male. However, despite this, the Venetian was able to take special courses and successfully passed the exams.

• glass blower

This profession, too, has always been considered more suitable for men. But there are female specialists who cope with this task just as well, and sometimes even surpass their male counterparts in skill.

So, there are a huge number of rare professions in the world, many of them are very interesting and can not only bring a good income, but also become a matter of a person’s whole life.

There are more than 70 thousand in the world different types activities, but most of us know much less. Naturally, it will not be possible to list all existing positions now, but we will try to name the most interesting and unusual professions.

The era of ordinary workers, teachers, doctors and the military has long ended. The world is developing, and every day they come up with the most unusual professions, one might even say "exotic".

And not always those specialties that are considered rare abroad exist in our country, and if they do exist, then in a completely different form - they are more common or vice versa. For example, in the United States, a very rare but highly paid job (salary of about 3 thousand dollars!) Is a hunter for empty beer bottles. In our country, you can’t call it a profession, but quite often in crowded places you can meet a person who collects the same container, and the money he earns is only enough for bread, in some cases - for another filled bottle. In Russia, such a person is called a bum, and in America - a battle hunter.

Another example would be the queuing profession. In the post-Soviet space, this work has already died, although in the 60-80s it was quite common: unemployed city residents stood in line for sausage or something else for a small fee, thus helping the busy, and then tired hard workers, buy food, yes and did not offend themselves. And now this profession has revived again, however, already in Britain, after the researchers announced that the average Briton spends one year of his life in line. An enterprising resident of London immediately opened a company where you can order a "professional queue keeper." The pay for such work sometimes reaches the mark of $ 40 per hour, but this is not easy, because the duties include quarreling, and pushing, and stepping on your foot (it doesn’t matter if the buyer in front of you takes the last thing you need - what then to tell the employer? )

The most unusual professions that you can master and get the appropriate diploma

Torcedoros. This profession can only be mastered in Cuba, and the course of study lasts ten years (to be honest, we can’t imagine that you can study for so long). After completing your studies, you will receive a diploma ... as a professional cigar roller. Not bad, right?

Personal nanny. In the US state of Kentucky, the university offers training in this specialty. Quite a strange, it should be noted, specialty: students are taught to care for newborn children, prepare infant formula, and one of the main subjects at the department is “Correct relations with parents and their children.” Specialists with such diplomas are highly valued, work in rich families and have high salaries.

Pop culture expert. In Ohio State, Bowling Green University trains students who are addicted to television, one might even say obsessed with it. The most curious thing is that they study what they are interested in: TV shows, music, cinema, biographies of artists and actors, museums, etc., that is, everything related to modern culture.

Top 10 most unusual professions

There are quite a lot of unusual and specific works, most of which are relevant only in a certain area, in a particular city. The most unusual professions in the world, as a rule, are found either in highly developed countries, or, conversely, in lagging ones. Well, let's start discussing them.

1. Our list of the most unusual professions opens dream merchant. In Chicago, for several years now, a company has been successfully operating that makes dreams come true. True, not free: the minimum order amount is ... 150 thousand dollars. But for this money you can get anything (within reason, of course), up to becoming a "star" ... True, for one day.

2. Professional sleeper. There are several areas of this work. Initially, "sleep" began to hire American companies that manufacture sofas and beds. After all, it is important for them to know how their products are of high quality and convenient. Now hotel owners also use the services of professional sleepers to check the level of comfort in the room (sound insulation, quality of furniture, etc.) and the quality of service.

3. Mystery shopper. Not such a rare profession, as the services of these persons are used by the owners retail chains, supermarkets, restaurants, hotels (although Sony does a good job there).

4. Iceberg harvester. Sounds strange, doesn't it? Yes, and such workers exist, and they perform quite important work. Remember the Titanic story? The liner could not miss a block of ice... oil platform there is also no chance of avoiding a collision, so they are rescued by iceberg cleaners.

5. Hitchhikers. Exactly! You hitchhike and get paid for it. Not bad, right? Jakarta (the capital of Indonesia) has about 30 million people and 20 million cars. Naturally, the roads are congested, and for this reason, the city authorities have introduced a restriction and created a checkpoint where only cars with at least 3 people pass through. Thus, the unemployed sit down in a car in front of the checkpoint, drive through and get out, having received a modest payment for this. After that, they cross the road and - again, for money - come back. You can earn up to 8 dollars a day, despite the fact that the average daily expenses per person do not exceed a dollar.

6. Toilet guide. In Japan and China, for a modest fee, a specially trained person will not only tell you, but also show you where the nearest toilet is. Just imagine, in the work book they have it written: “toilet guide”!

7. Brain extractor. Did you immediately think of your boss? But no, this profession is not connected with the moral removal of the brain. These people work in slaughterhouses that supply animal brains to restaurants as a delicacy.

8. hired relative. Yes, and there are, by the way, they provide a fairly wide range of services. They can pretend at your wedding that they are your loved ones, and at the funeral they can cry, no worse than the relatives of the deceased.

And finally, the two most unusual professions from the 18+ category:

9. Condom tester. Many contraceptive manufacturers test their products with special equipment, but some elite firms test their elite condoms directly in the field, so to speak, "in a combat situation."

10. Tester for girls of easy virtue. In countries where prostitution is legalized, there is such a profession. Brothel owners want to be sure that their prostitutes are doing their job well.

The rarest professions in Russia

Oenologists are engaged in winemaking, namely: they determine which grape variety is best grown on a particular piece of land, what fertilizers are best to use, and are directly responsible for the technical part of wine production.

Speechwriter. As you know, politicians often "push speeches", but, oddly enough, they are not their authors. And even such scandalous politicians as Vladimir Zhirinovsky, most often voice pre-prepared and learned phrases, rather than speak "on their own."

Funny, ridiculous and simply meaningless work

The most rare and unusual professions are different. For example, in America, one bakery opened a vacancy for a bun spreader with jam. In the same place, in America, closer to Christmas, a vacancy "specialist in decorating the Christmas tree" is opened. Although this is a family affair, the Christmas tree in the office needs to be brought into a “business” look before important conferences.

In developed countries, where people live at a frantic pace (they are always in a hurry somewhere, in a hurry, nervous), there are special interlocutors with whom you can talk heart to heart, and sometimes have a drink. Such people in without fail have a degree in psychology.

The worst job in the world

Ant catcher. You can’t imagine worse: all day long “crawling” on the ground with tweezers in your hand and catching the necessary goosebumps. But this work is really important, since the venom of ants is used in medicine, and sometimes the insects themselves are served in restaurants.

The most disgusting job

Have you committed murder? Need to hide evidence? Call a professional crime scene cleaner. But such cleaners work only for the elite... and only for big money...

The hardest job

In the Chinese subway, during rush hour, passengers “stuff” into the car so that the doors do not close. And then special “pushers” come to the rescue. They carefully, so as not to harm anyone, push people in and close the doors ... Just imagine what happens at the next stop when they open the door ...

Most enviable job

Janitor on paradise island Hamilton. For six months, a person is settled in a luxurious cottage on the island. And for this they also pay 20 thousand dollars a month. The worker is only required to keep order in the house, feed the turtles and monitor the corals. Poet's dream...

Most pointless job

The most unusual professions in the world are often meaningless. On one poultry farm, there is a position "manager for determining the sex of chickens." Such a specialist then does what he looks under the tail of one-day-old chicks all day long. Indeed, at the poultry farm they firmly believe that, depending on the sex of the chicken, you need to build a diet for him.

Highest paid job

Above, we already wrote about the merchant of dreams. So, this is exactly what is the highest paid and at the same time unusual work in the world.

Now you know the 10 most unusual professions that only exist in the world ... Do you still consider your job to be the worst?
