What are professional cuddlers? Put simply, they're people who get paid to platonically snuggle with clients. We've all snuggled up with someone or something (looking at you, Mr. Blankie)&nbsp;and have all reaped the benefits of a warm hug at one time or another, right? So why is it so odd to consider it a real profession?&nbsp;We pay for tons of other services that we otherwise provide ourselves: eating out vs. cooking at home, a paid massage vs. forcing a friend to rub our&nbsp;back, getting a manicure vs. biting our nails incessantly. So, when it comes to professional cuddling, why do the warm fuzzy feelings seem a little less fuzzy?Here are some professional cuddler facts&nbsp;that explain why&nbsp;we should maybe shine a light into the dimly lit&nbsp;room of platonic spoons and squeezes - for an easy&nbsp;$150 an hour.

We&#39;ve all had a bad boss or two, one that makes us stay later than we want to, doesn&#39;t pay us enough or makes us do demeaning things&nbsp;like take out their trash when it&#39;s full. Bad bosses get a lot worse than that, though. From firing an employee&nbsp;who just donated a kidney to the boss to one that made staffers tattoo&nbsp;his birthday on their necks, to one&nbsp;who installed sniper towers and canons when workers asked for a raise, these are the worst, most horrible, bad bosses of all time.

Who are the worst bosses ever? If you think you&#39;ve got it bad, just read a few of these and come into work tomorrow morning at peace with the fact that your bad boss isn&#39;t going to fire you over&nbsp;liking a Facebook page. All of the bad bosses you&#39;ve ever had likely don&#39;t even compare to&nbsp;the worst bosses of all time. And if they do, maybe it&#39;s time you looked for a better place to work.

List of the best high-paying flexible jobs: high-paying work-from-home jobs, telecommuting jobs, and careers with flexible hours and schedules that allow remote workers. &quot;Part-time,&quot; &quot;flexible,&quot; &quot;remote&quot; and &quot;telecommute&quot; jobs are the top jobs for work and family balance. Jobs where you can work mostly from home are becoming more and more common as email, video conferencing and phone calls are becoming the preferred method for communicating in the professional world. Mobile technology, cloud computing and shared, digital workspaces have made it easier to work from home than ever before. Traditionally, the best flexible jobs have been high-level management jobs (where you can make your own schedule) or IT careers (where most of your work is done online, anyway). These industries still offer some of the best paying telecommuting jobs. In the past 5 years, even more industries have started to allow workers to work from home full-time or a few days a week. Many of the careers on this list still require office time, but the actual schedule of when you have to be in the office is flexible. Many project-based jobs, like Actuaries, Public Relations Specialists and Film Editors are able to create their own schedules and finish work on their own time. Sales managers are another great, high-paying job that is flexible. Parents looking for great work-from-home jobs, adults looking to restore work-life balance, and professionals who desire the luxury of being able to finish work on their own time often search for these top paying work from home jobs. It makes sense: what's the definition of the perfect commute? From the kitchen table to the couch. Working from home, or telecommuting, is no longer the stuff of cubicle daydreams. As of 2011, an estimated 20 to 30 million people worked at home at least one day a week, and at least 2.8 million people worked primarily from home With improvements in networking technology and changes in corporate philosophy, the right career -- and income -- might be closer than you think. Many of these highest paying jobs with time off take a while to work up to and many others require advanced degrees or specialized training. However, there are some--like web developer, freelance writer, and regional sales managers are <a href="/list/great-jobs-that-don_t-require-a-college-degree/american-jobs">great jobs that don't require a college degree</a>.The salary information on this voteable list comes from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Payscale.com and Glassdoor.com.
