Paint Watcher
Some companies hire people to literally watch paint dry. No, this isn’t a joke. It’s a job in materials science where specialists observe how different formulations of paint settle, crack, or change color over time. The task involves staring at walls—sometimes for hours—making tiny notes on how slowly nothing is happening.
The ultimate test of patience, paint watchers often question their life choices while silently praying for a flake to fall. While it’s technically part of R&D for quality control, it’s hard to imagine explaining to your kids that your workday was spent waiting for gloss enamel to behave differently than matte. Spoiler: it didn’t.
