Nicholippe Stromley: Sham Pedestrian

I started off as a liaison of the Seattle Police Department to try and catch drivers who aren’t paying attention or who wouldn’t stop for a pedestrian. Now, I have started my own business as a vigilante. I get paid by generous donations and by the money I make from throwing dinner parties. My business has grown in size and I have a few interns that have great potential for future “sham pedestrians”.

Rodcent Petercloth, Hotel Model

When people hear the words “Hotel Model” they typically think of the little plastic scale inch models of hotels that may be built or are in the process of being built. That’s not what I am. As a hotel model, I model for many different hotels to help advertise their business and show off how wonderful they are to stay in. I’ve done advertisements for Hilton, Marriott, Embassy Suites, and I hope to one day model at the Ritz-Carlton. I do everything from photoshoots at the breakfast buffet to modeling at the conventions held in the hotel, and I even model the newest swimsuits next to the pool. 

Geranna Alger, Corporate Investor

As a Corporate Investor, I consider myself highly professional. I invest in companies that I know will not go broke anytime soon. It’s my second year on the job and so far I’ve invested in some amazing companies. The main ones being Pizza Hut, Forever 21, and Nintendo. The best part about my job? I work from home. Yes, I get to do all of my work from the comfort of my bean bag. I normally work four hours a day, 8-noon. My boss is very understanding. He gives me guidance and as many sick days as needed.

Edald Peterman – Professional Taste tester

Do you find yourself curious about what goes on in a day of the life of a professional taste tester? Well you’re in luck. My name is Edald Peterman and I work as a professional taste tester in St. Paul, Minnesota so I have a clear and in depth understanding on all the ins and outs of the industry.

Often times when an individual hears about the professional taste testing industry they will assume the job is as simple as laying around and eating food all day. While I do indulge in some delicious and decadent dishes from notorious chefs around the world, my job can be extremely demanding and time consuming.

Some of my responsibilities include tracking down new talent, whether locally here in Minnesota OR working with colleagues in other continents to locate skilled chefs. This means majority of my time I spend “stalking” Yelp reviews for websites, or even “stalk” potential clients on social media platforms such as Instagram or Facebook to get a first hand look at what they have to offer.

Once I track down a potential client, I get in contact and set up a meeting. At this meeting they cook for me, explain the thought process behind the meal and then they leave me to thoroughly taste the food they made. I then review the food, give a rating and then match up the chef with a restaurant or catering business depending on their worthiness. I would consider myself a matchmaker for skilled professionals in the food industry.

Taldo Watfonso – Medical Clerk

As a rule, I try to have as much fun at work as possible. That’s not to say I don’t take my job seriously, but what’s life without a little excitement and risk?

Instead of carrying out my typical daily routine of filing patient information and sending reports to patients doctors, I’ve constructed a little game to help me pass my meaningless hours: I call it “Prescription Roulette”.

The object of the game is to put myself in the randomly selected patient’s position, so as to become a more well rounded and empathetic individual. This is done by taking micro-doses of their assigned prescriptions (additionally, this acts as a training tool to build my immune system to a near-superhuman level). So far I’ve come across strep throat, pink eye, and gonorrhea. I have only experienced a mild fever and hives thus far, I’d say we’re on the right path…

Rodder Culling, Beverage Speculator

My job as a Beverage Speculator consists of investing in beverages, in the hopes to make a profit. I often will buy out all of the beverages at restaurants, and sell them individually to the tables, at a higher price. Because I am so young, I have been pretty successful in my career. Nobody wants to say no to kids selling drinks, look at the success of Lemonade stands. I started out my career on my driveway, selling lemonade when I was three. I am now 8, and buying out all of the high class restaurants beverages in downtown Seattle, and making more than 100k a year.

Ficille Chapkins, Probationary Associate

I am an associate in Paris always being disciplined by my employer because I am in a constant state of probation. Every waking moment is shear pain and torture so it’s a good thing I got a PhD in entrepreneurial mysticism and I know how to create products that help relax the human body. It’s called marijuana. I grow marijuana. I don’t do it for the money. I do it for the good people of this earth.

Ludi Littleland, McDonald’s Writer

Being a sophisticated ans talented McDonald’s Writer in Tokyo, Japan, job duties involve writing detailed scripts for our: TV commercials, job interview questions for managers to ask applicants, and employees to say while cashiering the drive thru. Not only do I write scripts, but I also come up with unique/authentic names for food on the menu. (The McRib was my best one). Even though my work is very behind the scenes, I like to say that my job is the backbone of this company.

Alexlivia Sullistead, Tattoo Comedian

In my line of work you have to have thick skin. Literally. Most of my job is sitting at tattoo shops and making fun of the clients that are getting inked up. The jokes aren’t always directed at the customers sometimes I make jokes about the artists, or the stereotypes surrounding tattoos.  Most of the time I get hired by tattoo shops, and a few times a year I get booked for a tattoo convention. I am in tattoo shops so much that naturally my whole body is covered in tattoos. My main goal in this career path is to make people laugh and try to remind them that it’s not that serious.
