Do you call yourself a broker? A credit adviser? A mortgage specialist? Whatever you've landed on, it's bound to be better than these odd job titles

  • Full time wiener peeler – wanted by a hotdog plant, the advertisement for this job called for “talented people who are passionate about making a positive impact in their professional and personal lives every day”. And who presumably enjoy removing sausage casings for a living.  
  • Erection superintendent – it’s not nearly as salacious as it sounds. This job involves supervising erections – of the construction variety.
  • S&M coordinator – some jobs, such as the sales and marketing coordinator, should rethink the need for abbreviations.
  • Chick sexer – much like the erection superintendent role, this isn’t a teenager’s idea of a dream job. It actually involves distinguishing the gender of baby chickens to determine which feeding programs they will receive.
  • Expert upsetter – chances are, you probably feel like you’ve met a few of these already. In reality, it involves setting up and operating a closed-die forging machine.
  • Ghost hunter – this one is actually exactly how it sounds, but is required for the purpose of reality television.
  • Animal colorist – this role literally involves coloring animals – dyeing them for roles in movies and advertising campaigns. If you’ve ever wanted to turn a pony into a zebra, this is the role for you.
  • Travel space agent – it’s yet to really take off, but Virgin Galactic, the world’s first space tourism business, is up and running – complete with an accredited travel agent.
  • Hair boiler – another literal job title, hair boilers oversee vats that boil animal hair to curl it for hair-based products.
