He eats everything from doggie treats and chewy bones to liver mixture. 2. Gumologist A lot of hard work goes into creating the perfect piece of chewing gum. Just ask Jesse Kiefer, who works as a Gumologist for Cadbury Schweppes. Kiefer chews more than a hundred chewing gums a week. He has to get the flavour just right, which he says isn't easy. 3. Waterslide Tester On a hot summer Monday morning you definitely want to go working if you do this job. All you have to do is slipping down water slides a lot of times during the days. Water slides are usually in big theme parks. Imagine getting to spend your lunch break on a rollercoaster, and eating a hot dog for lunch. 4.

But now there's a special technician who can come to the rescue. The Build-A-Bear Workshops have a Teddy Bear Repair Technician who is hired to repair those much-loved teddy bears. 5. Snake Milker Snake venom is very powerful. People can make medicine from it. They can also use it against poisonous snake bit. The venom is collected by hand.
