Today, 95% of professional sports teams have a mascot. Salaries vary depending on the size of the team, but full-time mascots can earn a base salary between $25-55,00. Part-timers are paid per game, approximately $150.

Weird Job Wednesday - CHOCOLATE TASTER

Chocolate Taster! 

It's not quite like Lucy and Ethel in the Candy Factory, and the jobs are scarce, but what a DREAM JOB! According to most research, jobs usually go to younger women because they generally have a more keen sense of smell. 

Or, be a Chocolate Consultant. Some companies offer great part-time, entrepreneurial opportunities like Lindt Chocolate who advertise their home party Business Starter Kits for just $124. How bad can that be?
