    185 BECOME A SURROGATE MOTHER. They say your body is a temple. In this case, it's more like a vessel. Acting as a surrogate is a noble service but a physically and emotionally taxing experience. While profitable, this is one undertaking that you definitely shouldn't pursue for money alone. Talk to your doctor if you're interested (and fertile).

    186 TAKE PART IN AN EXPERIMENTAL DRUG TRIAL. This is a tricky one. Best-case scenario: you wind up in the placebo group and get paid to take some sugar pills. And then there's the chance you develop serious medical complications due to a bad drug or interaction (“Look, Ma, I've got three nipples!”). At ClinicalCollection.com , you can sign up to receive an e-mail notice every time there is a trial in your area.

    187 PARTICIPATE IN A SMOKING CESSATION CLINIC. News-flash: smoking cigarettes is bad for you. With millions of people trying to kick butts, doctors are constantly researching ways to aid struggling smokers. To test the effectiveness, medical professionals pay smokers to try their method of quitting. Not only will you receive a stipend, but you'll also save money in the long run when you no longer have to shell out your hard-earned cash for a pack o' smokes.

    188 TAKE PART IN A STRESS STUDY. Work is usually stressful, but this is a job where you're actually supposed to get stressed — so that the guys in white lab coats can observe how stress affects the body. These can be hard to come by, so if you're interested in taking part in one of these studies, contact as many hospitals as possible to get your name on a list of potential guinea pigs.

    189 COMPLETE A STUDY ABOUT DEPRESSION. The bad economy is enough to make anybody feel the blues. Earn money off this misery by participating in studies run by medical companies that want to take advantage of others' sadness. The money earned should help solve your depression.

    190 ENTER A SLEEP STUDY. While seemingly simple, sleeping is a complex medical subject — not to mention a million-dollar industry. In order for sleep specialists to further understand the various sleep issues, they need to observe individuals in a state of sleep. While it won't be as cozy as your own bed and pillow, this is one place where it pays to be caught sleeping on the job.

    191 BECOME A HUMAN BILLBOARD. Admit it: part of you has always wanted a badass tattoo. Why not profit from it by inking a corporate logo or company name on yourself? In 2005, a Utah woman auctioned off her forehead on eBay for $10,000. While it screams “sell out” (not to mention desperation), it's likely you could find a company willing to do the same for you.

    192 NAME YOUR KID AFTER A COMPANY. If you're going to name your child something crazy like Chevrolet or ESPN, you may as well get paid to do it. And you can put the money you make into a savings account so the kid can go to therapy when he grows up.

    193 ASIST IN A NATURAL BIRTH. They say childbirth is a beautiful thing. They're lying. It's a physically, emotionally, and visually challenging experience to assist a woman giving birth — especially when that woman hasn't had an epidural. It is also a rewarding job, and if you have a supportive nature (and a strong stomach), visit Midwifery Today.com to find out more about becoming a midwife, doula, or childbirth coach.

    194 BECOME A CONFIDENTIAL INFORMANT. If you're in the know about some criminal activity, consider offering your knowledge to law enforcement. While the threat of retaliation is very real if you are found out (i.e., you could get killed), it won't take up too much of your time, and you'd actually help fight crime — no cape required.

    195 BECOME A PRIVATE EYE. Want to take your nosiness to a whole new level? Consider a job as a private eye. It's probably not as exciting
