Professional Mourner

If you like to whine a lot and your friends give your crying skills a lot of credit, then you might consider applying as a professional mourner in funerals. That would hone your crying skills even more and — can you believe it? — you’ll also get paid for the services you offer. If you didn’t know, there are various cultures around the world with a tradition of hiring people just to cry at funerals.

You could get big gigs if you spread the word around your neighborhood about the unique service you offer. After all, you’ll have little to no competition in the market, and once you get a big enough reputation, people will be knocking on your door offering to pay you a huge premium to cry in their loved ones’ funerals. Anyway, this job sounds challenging but interesting.
