You Get Paid to Do WHAT?! Random AF Professions that Make a Dope Living

happy-housewifeAs a little girl I always dreamed of being the cutest little housewife: cooking and cleaning for my husband, tending to the kids, being the hottest MILF on the block, duh. Okay, so maybe the last part was a late addition, whatever you get the point.

Basically, I didn’t want to grow up and get a big girl job, I wanted to do something that I loved: taking care of the people that mean the most to me.

I mean, I’m pretty sure they call what I want to do (without the whole “husband” factor…) “nannying” or “a maid” or “servant.” Erroneous! Erroneous on all counts!

But seriously, why shouldn’t you be able to make a living doing the things that you love? I mean, there are people out there who actually make a living doing the craziest stuff! Here’s a look into just some of the careers (other than my dream of “nannying”) that would be sick AF to have!

Professional Video-Gamers

Barbarian_Sublimation
Pretty sure this is what I would look like if I had to game 14 hours a day… Sorry Penny!

I’m not kidding. Team China composed of Zhang Pan (Mu), Chen Zhihao (Hao), Zhang Ning (xiao8), Wang Jiao (Banana) and Wang Zhaohui (SanSheng) currently make $1,005,661 each. Holy CASUAL?! Where do I sign up?! Oh wait, I can barely beat Mario Kart- Someone bring me a glass of wine to drown my sorrows…

Professional Sleeper

tiffs
Yes, you read that right. There are people out there who make, on average, around $15,000 a year simply by sleeping. Now that’s not nearly enough to live off of (at least for me, I could blow through that in one trip to Nordstrom 💁.) However, that’s a nice cushion to an already existing job. I’ll take another BIG glass of wine, because, you know, sleep…

Professional Shopper

clueless-shopping-main
OKAY. All jokes aside, this must have been made for me. So where do I sign up to be a professional shopper? I’d love to channel my inner Rachel Green and spend other people’s money! This is totally a real career. You get to make your own hours and choose which jobs you do and do not want to do. CRAZY! I’ll take another glass of wine now, because, you know, alcohol and credit cards work really well together. For all you judging me right now, clearly you need a glass of vino yourself.

Professional Water Slide Tester

Water-slide-in-London
Again, totally a legitimate thing. How AWESOME would it be to ride water slides all day then write about them at night (and often times be quoted in magazines and brochures)?! SIGN ME UP, again. The job has few responsibilities, although the few you do have are very important and, you know, could mean life or death for the future riders. Livelihood aside, who wants to drink some wine (or margaritas if we’re going to be near water?) and go ride some wild water slides?! Not sure that’s part of the job description though…

Professional Hotel Guest

everything-macaulay-culkin-eats-in-the-home-alone-movies-ranked
UHM YES?! This too is a legitimate career and all it requires is that you stay in a hotel for a few days and write about it (strong writers only, I assume). This job would be so kick-ass, because you’re required to enjoy all the amenities in the hotel, heck you enjoy that drink (or three) in the bar then go and enjoy a great massage at the spa, because, well, why the f*ck not?

With all of that being said, I am absolutely considering quitting my day job and enjoying the finer things in life. Because playing video games, sleeping, shopping, riding water slides and staying in fancy hotels all while drinking copious amounts of wine sounds good to me, obviously! Cheers!

A New App for You Peeps to Download: SWEEBLE

ohaN-otP

As we all know, social media just continues to keep growing and growing, and guess what? We got another app hitting the scene that you should probably download as well.

Hello SWEEBLE!

This app, seen by the cute little blue jellyfish, is similar to instagram in the fact it is a photo and video sharing app, however it works a little differently. On Sweeble, you can like things just as you would on instagram, but the way you do so is represented by the amount of time you hold down on the photo.

_MG_9335So if you hold down on say, Johnny Appleseed’s photo for 10 seconds vs. one second the heart will grow to be much bigger, therefore making your like worth something greater. You know on Facebook when we like something and we’re like I wish I could like this 10 times, Well, that’s the idea here.

You can like something more than what you’re limited to on other profiles. Just make sure you get as much liking as you want when you first like a post, because once you’ve liked it for however amount of time, you’ve already liked it.

Just like other social media outlets, on Sweeble you can follow your friends or total randos including that blonde babe you secretly stalk and accidentally like 150 week old photos of. Yeah, she and her brunette babe buddy are on there too.

For all you serial-posters, you’ll like the fact that the casualness of posts on Sweeble falls somewhere in between Snapchat and Instagram, so post away! There’s no judgments on here for posting more than once a day.

So why should you download Sweeble over these other up and comers in the social media world? Let’s ask the President Jason Zucari himself…

“Time is our most valuable resource, and why not use that as a metric to show how much you like your friends and families posts. For the first time on social media we can truly measure the degree of how much we actually like our social content, vs. a single binary “like”.” – Jason Zuccari, Sweeble President & Co-Founder.

Not to mention Sweeble throws some dope AF parties!

Check out the BTS look TCD got when we covered the Sweeble and Arsenic Magazine party in the Hollywood Hills last week. Straight fire.

Side note, have you seen Arsenic Magazine’s Snapchat story lately? UHM, let’s just say it’s HOT, HOT, HOT!

Definitely a follow decision you won’t regret. Well, unless you hate babes and boobs and are a communist.

Back to Sweeble!

The meaning of the jelly you ask?

“There is a type of jellyfish called Turritopsis Dorhrnii which is immortal. The liking system on Sweeble is based on how long you touch something. And similar to a jellyfish, the longer you touch or hold down on Sweeble the ore intense of a like it is. And if people aren’t liking your sh*t on Sweeble, people say why you jelly?” – Barrett Barnes, Sweeble CMO.

So why so jelly betches?!

Go download Sweeble and find the TCD girls on there! Give a girl some time and show some love! 😉
