Social Sciences - Social Science, Sociology, Ethics, etc. / ungewöhnlicher Beruf
German term or phrase: Antwortgeber
Found this term in a list of "ungewöhnliche Berufe" in a German language textbook for school-going children.
Other terms in the list are
Mondgucker, Sonnenanbeter, Tierstreichler, Schönwettermacher, Fragensteller, Antwortgeber, Gesundpfleger.

In KudoZ, Antwortgeber = answerer

But as an "ungewöhnlicher Beruf", what kind of a profession or occupation is this?

[On a lighter note, how about 'Antwortgeber' = Google ;-) ]
barbarameyer
answer provider
Explanation:
