I Wanna Be Like You

Some strange words caught my eyes in the news recently.
I even reread the line several times and ask myself -"Who is he exactly ? Really? If such a profession exists?"
The guy was working as a Pet Food tester and his work was exactly to taste pet food .
"Interesting."-I thought and started researching .
That's what I found
- Golf Ball Diver takes golf balls from the water
-Chief Happiness Officer is responsible for emloyee happiness in big corporation ( never seen such a position on a farm by the way)
-Pet Psychologist helps pets to solve their personal problems I guess , which definitely includes long hours of attentive listening
-Professional Bridesmaid is paid for being a bridemaid on a wedding. Can you imagine that ?! To be paid to go on a wedding in a such a nice new dress!

I definitely need to think again about making a change in my professional life.
Being a Dog Surfing Instructor started to feel like a passing stage and is getting boring for me!

Corrections

I even reread the line several times and asked myself, -"Who is he exactly ?

If sSuch a profession exists?"

Or
Does such a profession exist?
Is it possible that such a profession exists?

but "if" in a question doesn't work here. You can use it in a statement:

I asked myself if such a profession exists.

The guy was working as a Pet Food tTester, and his work was exactly that: to taste pet food .

"Interesting."-," I thought, and started researching .

I'm not sure about the punctuation. I put a comma because the sentence doesn't end until researching.

The second comma may be optional, but it makes a little pause between the actions.

I know grammar isn't your priority, but I feel like I should mention it.

That'Here's what I found: / This is what I found:

-Chief Happiness Officer is responsible for employee happiness in a big corporation ( never seen such a position on a farm by the way)

I guess , wWhich definitely includes long hours of attentive listening¶
I guess that includes long hours of attentive
listening

It's contradictory to say you guess something definitely.

Bridesmaid is paid for being a bridesmaid onat a wedding.

Can you imagine that ?!

Absolutely. Sounds like a great job to me.

To be paid to go on a wedding in a such a nice new dress!

Well, dresses are not my thing, so maybe I'll fish golf balls out of the water instead.

I definitely need to think again about making a change in my professional life.

Dude. You do.

Include "has" because you are doing this now

Feedback

This is hilarious. You really are a skilled comedic writer. Have you read anything by Dave Barry? You might wanna be like him.

Apologies. I missed this preposition error:

"To be paid to go TO a wedding in a such a nice new dress!"

People go to a wedding, to a birthday party, to a graduation, etc.
