Since it’s a special issue, we thought we would something fun this time. Which is why we have for you 3 of the most weird yet real jobs that people in the world do. It may take a while for you to believe it; but we assure you, these most definitely are real professions!
Ear Cleaners – India
Odd as it sounds, professional ear cleaners can be found all over India, especially in Mumbai. What’s even more surprising is that these cleaners are found on the streets. Yes, it’s true. They usually can be found cleaning ears on some footpath or under a tree. All they use is cotton, a long wooden or metal ear pick, some hydrogen composition and coconut oil. Take a look at the picture here. It should tell you all that you need to know!

Oshiya – Japan
This profession is weirder than ear-cleaner. Oshiya in Japanese means a professional pusher. So what exactly does a professional pusher do? Well...he pushes! Seriously. The local trains in parts of Japan are so over-crowded that people cannot get in. So they hire Oshiyas or professional pushers who make sure they are pushed into a compartment on time. Sounds like a funny thing to do, right? But we are sure you’ll get the point to it once you see the photograph.

Cuidacarro
Cuidacarro means “car watcher”. It’s a profession that’s peculiar to Costa Rica. People here hire a Cuidacarro to watch their cars while they are parked! Yes, you read that right. Car thefts are so common in Costa Rica that people now pay professionals just to make sure that their car isn’t stolen while it’s parked on the road or in a public parking lot!! Cuidacarros charge anything from one dollar to 5 dollars for watching your car for a couple of hours. Bizarre...right?
