These eight intriguing but downright amazing jobs could be right up your alley.
1. Face feeler.
Were you wondering how beauty companies can claim their products offer the best results? Well, wonder no more – it’s down to the hard work of a face feeler.

2. Gumologist.
You wouldn’t have thunk it, but a LOT of hard work goes into creating the perfect piece of gum. And some of that hard work is done by a gumologist. These are the noble men and women who test the flavour, texture and consistency of new chewing gum creations.
Jesse Kiefer, who works as a gumologist for Cadbury Schweppes, told Fortune magazine: “A piece of gum weighs just one to seven grams, but it’s packed with a lot of different technology.” You might give your humble piece of Wrigleys a bit more respect now.
