Answer 3

This must be the most difficult question ever.
As a teacher I learnt of a few in my travels I met many people as follows -
- chicken (baby chicks) sexer
- the man who gets in the out-side sanitation systems when they fail. This requires very high boots and covering as one wades through the poo to get to the machinery that cleans the poo. The man who did this told me he wished he'd worked harder at school.

Very well paid job
- my well paid daughter ( who did several worth-while post graduate degrees) writes medical submissions, difficult to get the 1st job but easy after wards. At the moment, she is recovering from heart operation in hospital yet manages to spend 15 mins here and there, researching, sending surveys, vie email and beginning the submission. She obtains thousands of thousands of dollars for organisations and gets several thousands of that in pay.
- Political speech writer need to be bs artist
-lobbyist for some company requires high quality degrees

OUTDOORS - a fun!! job is inseminating cows or sheep
- similar but a bit more difficult getting the semen from bulls and rams.
- tail docker - cutting tails off sheep
-vet in charge of this
[ lots of work for this in the lower part of Western Australia where the smallest farm has 10,000 sheep and the largest more than 2 million sheep]
- lovely job protecting / finding rare trees in same area. of W.AUST. {somehwere hidden, from the public, in this area is the oldest tree in the world, alive in dinosaur times}
- associated with this, the delicate task of taking cuttings of this to sell at high prices on ebay you need high level of botanical sciences degree for this.

My ex husband did rabbit watching - sit all night observing and recording a 1 metre square of land watching what rabbits did there. Zoology degree needed to head the team doing this work for the 'Agriculture Protection Board'.

-Also nice kind job researching alternative food pellets for endangered species. Sitting in the bush observing and recording food chains and inter species actions for knowledge about pesticides etc. NOT as simple as it sounds but you really get to know Nature.
Caring for dingoes, or large lizards or geckos or dung beetles or other not so cute but vital species.
Being an injured wild life carer e.g carrying an orphaned joey around in your pouch till it can feed alone.
-leech collector for hospitals
-insect, maggot collector for scientific study
- a lady I know, runs laughter therapy sessions minor medical degree needed
From the Internet.- Odor Tester
Lucky you, you could get to sniff armpits all day to see if deodorants are working their magic or not.
Citrus Fruit Colorer
Citrus fruit is usually picked before its ripe, so someone colors the fruit using steam and chemicals giving it a more 'natural' appealing hue.
Heritage Management Officer
What on Earth are you going to do with your Archeology degree? You could become a Heritage Management Officer whose job it is to evaluate proposed construction sites for any archeological significance.
Finally -
- collecting, organising people like me because when I'm dead I donate my body to the University so medical students can practise and become good doctors and heal people in future - bit like a substitute for animal experimentation but more so.
