Animal breeder
Cattle breeders are responsible for ensuring the mating of animals to produce offspring. The role can be found in various industries, such as sports (for example, horse racing), pet care, or even the food industry. You will need to find the most suitable animals to mate with and will probably be responsible for the level of care the animals receive until they are born. How to become one: A degree in veterinary studies, biology or zoology will be important to become an animal breeder.
Pediatric surgeon
Pediatric surgeons look after the health of young patients, typically from birth (including premature babies) through to adolescents. The role is specifically focused on operating on young people and will require extensive knowledge of various illnesses and how to apply this to the care of these vulnerable patients. How to become one: Pediatric surgeons are very well-qualified to perform the role. They will have a bachelor’s and master’s degree in a STEM or a medicine-related field, and likely a doctoral degree in the same.
Prosthodontist
Prosthodontists are dental specialists who focus on dental and facial problems that include missing teeth or bones. They will create and implant dental prosthetics, such as crowns and veneers, and be involved in the restoration of bone structure, such as damaged jaws. The role functions in both an aesthetic and medical capacity and can involve very complex surgery.
Refractory materials repairer
Refractory materials repairs specialize in the construction, maintenance, and repair of systems and machines that use the trapping and sustainment of heat to function. This can include boilers, ovens, furnaces, and kilns. Refractory materials repairers are focused on the materials in these machines that trap heat. These materials are quite unusual and have specific properties that require in-depth expertise. Higher education is not necessarily needed to become a refractory materials repairer, but it’s a dangerous job, so you will need extensive experience in mechanical or engineering jobs, and then specific experience working with refractory materials.
Industrial-organizational psychologist
Industrial-organizational psychologists focus on the behavior of employees at work. Trained in psychology, they apply their knowledge to a wide range of workplace matters, such as recruitment, performance, learning and development, and communication. The role is focused both on advising managers and working directly with employees who need support. You will need to be a trained and accredited psychologist, which will require at least a master’s degree in psychology. Additionally, a working knowledge of leadership or HR principles will be useful.
Timing device assembler/adjuster
Timing device assemblers and adjusters work with electrical clocks and other timing devices. The role requires a high degree of intricacy, and the measure of success is how accurately adjusters make these devices. The role will also involve calibrating timing devices and troubleshooting issues with them. While higher education isn’t a definite prerequisite for this job, certain advanced timing devices might require a certain level of education or knowledge in STEM principles. A natural route into the role is beginning with an apprenticeship in watchmaking.
Private chef
Private chefs are employed by people such as celebrities, ultra-high-net-worth individuals, or statespersons, creating meals exclusively for them and their families. Sometimes employed alone or in charge of a brigade of junior chefs, private chefs have to cater to the household and any social events that might be arranged. Private chefs must be experienced in cooking. You will need an excellent palate as well as experience working with all kinds of food and being adaptable enough to work in a kitchen in a home, in hotels, or at sea on a yacht, if needed.
Farm labor contractors
Farm labor contractors recruit agricultural laborers. Farms usually contract them to meet labor needs. As part of their responsibilities, they often supervise the work of crews, provide them with equipment and training, and drive them to and from the fields. The contractors will also handle general HR needs for farm workers, such as payroll and performance. Farming experience is essential in order to effectively perform the role of an agricultural labor contractor, so starting as an agriculture apprentice is advisable, as is work experience in a variety of roles performed by contract workers. Business and HR knowledge (or even education in these areas) is also useful.
Wood model maker
Wood model makers are in the top two rarest professions in the world. They plan and create wooden models which are used for mock-ups or plans of large-scale constructions. For example, an architect might want a wooden model created for the building they are working on. The role requires the planning of models according to detailed blueprints, as well as the fabrication of them using woodworking principles. Most wood model makers get started by learning on the job, for example, through apprenticeships or carpentry courses. Given the precise nature of the role, some qualifications in mathematics, architecture, or engineering can be useful, and some advanced model makers might have higher education in these fields.
Wood patternmaker
Being a wood patternmaker is the rarest job in the world. Wood patternmakers create wooden molds that are used by metalworkers to cast molten metal. They use advanced woodworking techniques to create these intricate designs and molds according to precise specifications. The role requires an in-depth understanding of dimensions and exactness, as well as creativity and carpentry skills. The level of skill needed to become a wood patternmaker means that this profession cannot be learned at university
