天龙八部职业选择

  比来天龙八部职业,有一条微博动静出格吸惹人眼球天龙八部职业:90后“品虾师”年薪 30 万。

  

  网友们对此评论纷歧,有人暗示十分羡慕, 迫不及待地想去应聘......

  

  也有人暗示,当喜好酿成工做时,就再也不是一种享受天龙八部职业了......

  

  其实,有趣的职业不单单有“品虾师”,今天想和各人分享几个古今中外有趣的非支流职业。

  叫人起床的

  knocker upper

  Knocker upper (负责叫人起床的人)是个古老的职业,在英国工业革命期间鼓起并繁荣起来。

  因为在工业革命期间,闹钟又贵又不成靠,于是叫人起床那一职业就起头在英国和爱尔兰鼓起,而且不断延续到 20 世纪 50 年代初期。

  A knocker-upper, was a profession in Britain and Ireland that started during the Industrial Revolution, when alarm clocks were neither cheap nor reliable, and to as late as the beginning of the 1950s.

  那一工做的次要使命就是要把睡着的人们叫醒,包管他们能够定时工做。

  A knocker-upper's job was to rouse sleeping people so they could get to work on time.

  而 knocker upper们叫人起床的体例也是光怪陆离。一位 59 岁的艺术家 Paul Stafford 回忆道:

  他们过去经常拿着一个长长的竿子,沿着街区而走。他们不会逗留太久,可能敲了 3、4 下以后就分开了。

  The knocker upper used to come down the street with their long poles. They wouldn't hang around either, just three or four taps and then he'd be off.

  

  Knocker upper们的用具除了竿子之外,还有锤子。

  

  锤子也就算了,还有用射豆枪(peashooter)的, 看看那位大妈,也是莫名搞笑。

  

  Mary Anne Smith是一个令人喜欢的存在,她经常在 20 世纪 30 年代带着本身令人相信的射豆枪一路呈现在伦敦东部。John Topham记得“除了日曜日的每天早上,她都三点早早起来用本身的射豆枪叫醒那些本地的工人。她每周收取 6 便士。”

  Mary Anne Smith, became a beloved presence - along with her trusty pea shooter - around London's East End in the 1930s. John Topham remembers "every morning but Sunday she would rise at three to 'knock up' local workers - using a pea shooter. She charged six pence a week.

  跟着闹钟和电子产物的逐步普及,如今已经没有 knocker upper 了,但是他们仍然留给了人们十分美妙的回忆。

  

  跟着闹钟和电变得越来越普及、廉价,那种工做逐步退出了市场。诚然,嘟嘟响着的闹钟和在早上播放着音乐的智能德律风愈加简单、便利,但是永久都不克不及与 Mary Smith的射豆枪比拟较,被那种轻柔、奇特的声音唤醒完满是另一种体验。

  It waned as alarm clocks and electricity became more widespread and affordable. Sure, beeping alarm clocks and smartphones that play morning music are simpler and more convenient. But they can't match being awoken by the soft, distinctive tap of Mary Smith's pea shooter.

  然而,那个世界不单单有“敲人”的工做,还有“遛人”的工做。

  “遛人”

  people walker

  遛狗的人(dog walker)仿佛其实不稀奇。但是……

  那个世界还有一种“遛人”的工做。那一职业的开创人 Chuck McCarthy来自洛杉矶,靠“遛人”为生,也就是与顾客一路漫步、谈话,每英里收费 7 美圆。

  

  McCarthy经常带人们在他家附近的街道以及公园漫步,每英里收费 7 美圆,与遛狗差别,他创始的那种遛人体例其实不需要绳子,只需要走路、说话还有最重要的一点才能—倾听。

  McCarthy walks humans for $7 a mile around the streets and park near his home, pioneering an alternative to dog walking that requires no leash, just an ability to walk, talk and, above all, listen.

  McCarthy在几个月之前只是一个不得志的演员,那一设法像打趣一样涌入他的脑海,一起头那只是一种想象的赚钱办法,最初它酿成了现实。

  The idea initially struck the underemployed actor several months ago as a joke, an imaginary way to make extra cash, until it became real.

  Chuck McCarthy的生意做得风生水起,客户群遍及男女老小。

  Chuck 陪同并鼓舞那些想要走落发门、来到户外的人,和他们一路摸索城市、熬炼身体。

  Chuck provides companionship and motivation to people who want to get out of the house, explore their city and get some exercise.

  

  若是你认为 people walker做起来很简单,那你就太无邪了,交换、倾听的技巧一样不克不及少。

  固然 people walker 目前已经开展得小有规模,但是chuck 并没有行步于此,如今,Chuck如今已经有了 people walker的团队。

  

  他也在努力于成立一个本身的APP。

  《卫报》对那一职业的前景和市场十分看好:

  在将来十年摆布,为人与人之间的交往付钱会和为了治疗而付钱一样习以为常。固然陪同那一市场会让我们觉得不恬逸,但是它仍然会继续开展。人类关于社会交往的需求是很原始的:若是在市场中我们能够找到一个像伴侣一样的人,与他漫步并聊天,我们会判断地迎上去,而不是扭头走开。

  In a decade or so, paying for connection may seem as ordinary as paying for therapy. The companionship market will make us uncomfortable, but it will persist. The need for social connection is too primal: if it's the market that's offering us the chance to walk and talk with someone who seems like a friend, we'll be heading towards it, not turning away.

  然而,那个世界不只有“遛人”的职业,还有“推人”的。

  挤地铁神助攻

  professional pusher

  日本的轨道交通以卓越和准时闻名世界。在首都东京,根本每天有 4000 万乘客乘坐轨道交通出行,远远超越了其他的交通体例譬如公交和私人车等。在那 4000 万乘客中,870 万人次乘坐地铁出行。

  The Japanese rail network is known throughout the world for its superiority and punctuality. In the capital city Tokyo, nearly 40 million passengers ride the rail every day, heavily outweighing other modes of transport like buses and private cars. Of these, 8.7 million take the subway.

  

  在那种情况下,有一种职业应运而生啦,那就是专业“推人”的工做。

  为了包管所有的人们都能定时上班,日本雇用了人员来把人们推上地铁。

  To make sure that all its people reach work on time, Japan has employed people to push others onto trains.

  发型试验员

  Ornatrices

  还记得 Bravo 的时髦节目 Tabitha's Salon Takeover 吗天龙八部职业?看过节目标你必然也认同发型设想就是一场噩梦。

  在古罗马,剃头是一件十分浩荡的工程,热爱时髦的罗马市民老是希望把本身的发型做得华美华美再华美。

  但古时候的染发剂、发蜡等外型用品还没有构成财产,根本上都是剃头师们本身研究搞尝试。

  新做出来的染发产物没有人试验过,怎么敢往贵族们头上抹呢?于是剃头师们需要雇佣专门做“小白鼠”的发型试验员,用来测验考试剃头师们各类疯狂的设法。

  那份为时髦献身的工做可一点儿也不有趣,其时的染发剂凡是是由腐朽的水蛭、乌贼墨、鸽子粪便和尿液等造成的。

  水蛭收罗者

  Leech Collector

  当我们对水蛭的印象还停留在吸血治疗的时候,一群水蛭收罗者早已英勇地站了出来。他们会用动物的腿来吸引水蛭,等其吸足血后再将其抓住,卖给医生。

  

  19 世纪“水蛭热”期间他们干得可相当不赖。

  看完了那些工做,是不是觉得很有趣呢。
