Go to college. Study this, then study that. Become a lawyer. Become a doctor. How about a teacher? Forget all of that: the list featured below includes a few of the wackiest yet highest-paying professions out there.

In fact, these people aren't just your everyday kind of folks. They're making bank just from selling warm, delicious hot dogs and buying cute purses for someone wealthy. Then there's you – the average guy or girl just trying to make a few bucks. Check out these jobs and maybe you'll find something new and cool just for you or someone you know.

1. Hot Dog Vendors

Kiss your college career goodbye and say hello to the delicious smell of New York hot dogs. You better believe it. Hot dog vendors make $30,000-100,000 annually just from selling on the streets. Yep, crazy.

2. Embalmers

So, what exactly is an embalmer? Yeah, I definitely had to Google this one for you. Embalmers preserve human remains by applying chemicals onto deceased bodies. And how much do they earn a year? $43,680.

3. Personal Shoppers

Personal shoppers tackle the little things for you. They pick out everything that you need so that you are always on the go! And who doesn't love shopping on someone else's dime??!

4. Ice Cream Tasters

Two words that describe this profession: literal goals. You're basically being paid $56,000 a year to try out some yummy ice cream flavors.

5. Body Part Models

Body part models earn anywhere from $20 to $1,000 an afternoon just from posing random body parts. If you have an attractive wrist or picture-perfect hands, then maybe this is the job for you.

6. Cruise Ship Entertainers

Get ready to sing, dance, and perform while you cruise down the Bahamas! Cruise ship entertainers make a whopping $3-4,500 a month, which includes room and board. Time to soak up the sun!

7. Live Mannequins

Finally, the creepiest job yet. Live mannequins get paid $100 hourly to stand still and look pretty.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register.

Like I said, it's a big hassle.

I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating.
