Bike Courier, Fragrance Chemist, Professional Ethical Hacker
From the crazy to the cool, the serious to the silly, there are tons of ways to make money that you might never have heard of. Some people have ignored the most common career routes and have decided on something a little more abstract, like being a greeting card artist, jewelry designer, or cruise line employee. Curious? Read about some of the weirdest and most interesting jobs out there.
Bike Courier:
Bike couriers, or bike messengers, provide a valuable service in cities where traffic prevents transportation. They can often get across a city faster than if they were driving a car as they don’t have problems with parking or traffic jams.
Fragrance Chemist:
Fragrance chemists are scientists who specialise in the study of odour molecules and how such molecules can be used for perfumes. Fragrance chemists may develop and test scents for women’s and men’s perfume, soap and lotion. They often have backgrounds in chemistry and biochemistry, and often have high-level degrees, such as a Master’s or PhD.
Professional Ethical Hacker:
When you hear the word “hacker,” you probably think of a kid on a computer but there are professional hackers who “test-hack” a company’s software to make sure it is secure. Also known as ethical hackers or “white hat hackers,” these “good guys” are paid to break into a network and then offer recommendations on how to make sure a real hacker can’t access it in the future.
