There are many fun and weird jobs that can pay you a nice amount of money, including staying in bed or renting out your body for experiments. 🤣 They both can have their risks, but they can also turn to be amazing experiences.
Get Paid to Stay in Bed.
NASA will pay you $18,000 to lie in bed for 70 days as part of a study. Check out irb.nasa.gov. The catch is you have to do everything lying down; eating, drinking, watching movies, playing video games, reading, and even showering. I thought about doing this so I can have time to write more books, but the truth is, lying in bed for such a prolonged period could cause long term muscle and nerve damage. You may be able to recover most of it as long as you do an extensive exercise program after the two months.
Participate in Clinical Trials.
ClinicalTrials.gov allows you to participate in an assortment of trials to generate revenue by renting out your body for experiments. You can also join in paid research studies at your local university and focus groups through FindFocusGroups.com and FocusGroup.com.
I used to participate in these trials when I was in college, and I never felt like I was in any kind of danger. In fact, they are highly regulated, and you can have some exciting experiences completing the assignments. Clinical trials are usually drug or illness related, where focus groups respond to questionnaires pertaining to specific topics.
