Sex toy tester gets paid more than $30,000 annually
For Cara Houiellebecq, business is pleasure.
The 33-year-old calls herself a professional sex toy tester and takes home almost £15,000 (S$31,440) a year.
She claims to experience 15 orgasms a week.
Houiellebecq, whose office is filled with more than 2,000 adult toys, is paid to review these toys for adult companies on her blog.
The mother of two says she spends seven hours every week testing the toys.
Can you believe such jobs exist?
Here are other jobs you probably never knew existed:
1) Netflix binge-watcher
Imagine a job where you are paid to binge-watch all five seasons of Breaking Bad in a row... in pajamas. Netflix calls these people "taggers" as they basically give the TV series and movies proper tags to streamline users' binging experience.
2) Pet food taster
Yes, humans are actually being paid to taste pet food. Simon Allison is one of them. He said in an interview with the Daily Mail: "I have trained my palate to look for materials that we will not allow in the recipe, such as tripe." Allison claims he loves his job but we're not sure... It doesn't sound too appetising.

3) Golf ball diver
What do you think happens to the golf balls that get swung to the pond? Are they lost forever? Not quite. There are actually professional divers who go in to retrieve the balls.
4) Fortune cookie writer

You mean it's not fate?! Yes,Wonton Food, which produces fortune cookies, actually hires freelance writers to craft new messages for the company.
Danny Zeng, the vice president of sales, says that they often make these messages vague to create excitement with anyone reading them.
So if you receive a message that says: "The evening promises romantic interest". Remember that someone probably wrote this on a train.
