Unusual Jobs That Actually Pay Well

15. Paper Towel Sniffer

How would you like to introduce yourself as a professional sniffer at your next dinner party? That’s exactly what you can do if you are hired to perform this task. Odor is very important when it comes to home goods; no one wants paper towels that will stink up their kitchens.

So paper towel companies hire people to perform smell tests on their product to make sure that they are coming out the way they’re supposed to smell. People just starting out in sniffing might only take home around $20,000 a year, but seasoned pros can earn over $50,000, so dream big and work hard!
