Deutsch term

Antwortgeber

Non-PRO Deutsch > Englisch Geistes- und Sozialwissenschaften Sozialwissenschaften, Soziologie, Ethik usw. ungewöhnlicher Beruf
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 ;-) ]
Change log

May 6, 2017 10:03: changed "Kudoz queue" from "In queue" to "Public"

May 6, 2017 15:30: Thomas Pfann changed "Level" from "PRO" to "Non-PRO"

Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (3): philgoddard, Tariq Khader (X), Thomas Pfann

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

@ philgoddard I really appreciate your help. Thank you so much for your helpful input.
Btw, I've already said:

Barbara hasn't explained that she's not looking for the best translation, so there's no point submitting multiple answers. She is using the textbook to teach with, and doesn't understand what these terms mean. So apparently she doesn't know that Antwort means answer and Geber means giver.

You're in a weird spot, Barbara Everybody seems to be bored asleep by these questions...
