Worm Picker
Fishermen need bait, and bait needs harvesting. That’s where worm pickers come in—trudging through muddy fields at night with headlamps, grabbing wriggling earthworms by hand to sell in bulk. Some areas even have worm-picking competitions, turning this odd chore into a community sport.
It’s dirty, squishy, and cold. But for a surprising number of rural entrepreneurs, worm picking brings in decent income. However, after the 200th worm slips through your fingers at 2 a.m., you might start questioning your life choices—and your relationship with dirt.
