A list of odd jobs in the world, ranging from an odor judge to a dinosaur duster, has been complied by photographer Nancy Rica Schiff.
Schiff, who has spent 15 years taking pictures of world's weirdest jobs, said that she came across people who have "the wacky occupations including an odour judge, fish counter, condom tester, mermaid, dinosaur duster and crisp inspector, the Daily Star reported.
She has produced two books from her images, titled 'Odd Jobs' and 'Odder Jobs', and revealed that she has always been fascinated by unusual employment.
Schiff also revealed that her inspiration came from an odd-looking fellow at the Hollywood Race Track whose job it was to time the horse races and thinking up other odd jobs came from research, word-of-mouth and luck.
