Sommeliers have an unusual job that deals with selecting wine daily. Master sommeliers work with restaurant business's to find the perfect wine to complement each meal. They chose a wine that goes well with the meal (and there taste buds) while also keeping the customers budget in mind. Also, they make sure that the wine is stored properly and in the right conditions. Sommeliers also host wine-tasting events to find out what kinds of wine certain people like. These masters also attend other wine-tasting events to find the new and best tasting wines out there.
The salary of these workers depends on how big and expensive the restaurant they work at is. Annually master sommeliers make $150,000 annually.

Prosthodontists
Prosthodontists are dentists who specialize in replacing teeth using things like bridges, crowns, and dentures. Prosthodontists do everything that a normal dentist does as well. Dentists do things such as looking at your teeth, determining if your teeth need any work done to them, fill teeth, put on caps, and remove decay.
The only differences that separate a prosthodontist from a dentist is that they do measurements and model for dentures, repair fractured teeth, and even do surgery on gums.
People believe that this job will increase around 28% by the year 2018.

Women Undercover
In 1978 there was a case about human smuggling. A woman who was undercover went to a bar that was known as a hub for human smugglers. She pretended to be a Mexican trying to be smuggled into the USA. They made her swim across a river and stay in a room with dozens of others who were waiting to be smuggled into the USA. She convinced them to stop at a gas station where she gave the cashier a napkin with the phone number of the agency. The cashier then called the agency and the cops came and arrested the smugglers.
When thinking of undercover agents most of the time people think about men, but there are women undercover agents too. People don't usually expect women to do this job. Women undercover agents flirt and mess with guys emotions to get them to give out information.
It's not easy to become an undercover agent though.
