You might’ve heard the term “Mystery Shopper”thrown around before, but what exactly does the job entail, and how much money can youmake from it? Put simply, being a mystery shopper is fifty-percentbeing paid to shop, and fifty-percent being a corporate spy. Mystery shoppers are sent into retail environmentsposing as ordinary customers, but as they shop, they’re required to gather data onthe quality of the store environment, the customer service, and the products themselves. After the experience is over, the MysteryShopper is required to write and submit a detailed report to their superiors. The job, on average, pays around $13 an hour.

Ice Cream TasterThis is one of those jobs that feels almost too whimsical to be real. It’s the kind of thing that every child– and frozen-treat-loving adult – dreams about.

Also called flavorologists and tastemasters,professional Ice Cream Tasters are the masters of quality control for some of the largestice cream companies in the world. However, their role is actually far more variedthan that – They also work extensively in product development, devising and testingnew ice cream flavors.

LibrarianIf you consider yourself a bibliophile, and you’re a fan of good, old-fashioned peaceand quiet, then it goes without saying that a public library might be the perfect workenvironment for you. While being a librarian might not seem likethe most glamorous job in the world, according to job site Indeed, the average basic salaryof an American librarian is $42,225.

In order to do the job properly, you needto be an impeccable listener, have a working knowledge of medical and pharmaceutical terms,have an excellent command of English grammar, and be a fast and efficient typist. That being said, this position has one ofthe lowest barriers to entry of most jobs in the medical field, and brings home a generoussalary to boot. 5. Insurance AppraiserDo you like cars? Would your friends describe you as a realgearhead – with a strong working knowledge of the inner workings of your average car? Good, because that’s actually all you needto be an auto-damage insurance appraiser.

Despite the fancy name, the demands of thisjob are actually relatively simple: Assess an insurance claim, and then perform a visualobservation to appraise the validity of that claim. While it might seem like a job this cushyis hard to get into, you technically don’t need any formal qualifications beyond a highschool diploma – though having experience in the world of auto-repair definitely doesn’thurt.

So, what exactly is a purchasing agent, andwhat do they do? In short, purchasing agents are the foot soldiersof purchasing managers – they buy services and goods on behalf of their employer, typicallya larger commercial entity. Say, for example, the purchasing agent worksfor a large supermarket chain. It’s down to the purchasing agents and thepurchasing manager to determine which brands that supermarket should stock and sell basedon current marketing trends.

That’s a bragging right few careers canafford you. 2. Ferrari Driving InstructorMuch like being an ice cream taste tester feels like every child’s dream, making aliving as a Ferrari driving instructor feels like the dream career of your average teenageboy. Ferrari are one of the leading manufacturersof so-called “Super Cars” in the world, with their most expensive car – the Ferrari250 GTO – fetching over $48,000,000 at auction. This means that the company’s high-classclientele really needs to know how to treat their new vehicles, considering they costmore than what many average people would invest in a house. That’s why Ferrari driving instructors arethe best-paid instructors in the world, with some bringing in salaries as high as $120,000a year to teach filthy-rich car enthusiasts how to master their new purchase. For the money you’re making, the work isessentially being a regular advanced driving instructor, with the added value of workingfor one of the most prestigious car companies in the world.
