Daniel: Yes, I collected stories about unusual jobs from all over the world.
I : So you’re not talking about actors or shop assistant s.
D: No, all the people in the book have very strange jobs.
I: I see it’s organized into different industries, like the cleaning industry. But isn’t cleaning a normal job?
D: Normally, yes. But did you know there’s a man in America called Brad Fields and he cleans chewing gum off the Statue of Liberty? Well, actually, he’s got a company called Gumbusters. But that’s all they do – they clean gum off the streets and famous buildings of New York.
I: Oh, what a horrible job!
D: Yes, Americans chew 56 billion pieces of chewing gum a year. Then they throw most of it onto the street. That’s a lot of cleaning.
I: OK, that job is quite unusual .But what about in the food industry?
D: Well, when a company wants to advertise food they sometimes need a food stylist. Their job is to make food look good in advertisements.
I: I’ve never heard of that job before.
D: Well, there are only about 20 food stylists in Britain. For example, when we look at a picture of strawberries and cream we’re really looking at strawberries and white paint.
I: Really?
D: Yes, and they paint sausages with washing-up liquid, then coffee, to make them look natural.
I: So what’s the strangest job in your book, do you think?
D: Well, how about vermiculturalist?
I: What’s that?
D: A vermiculturalist is a worm farmer. These people manage farms that only have worms. No other animals, only worms.
I: But why?
D: Well, worms like eating rubbish and that’s good for the environment. So companies pay a worm farmer to clean up their rubbish.
I: Fascinating, but ugh, not a job for me. I see there’s also a chapter about artists. What strange jobs did you find in …
