I saw a post on Facebook last week that read, "Another job my career counselor forgot to tell me about." Followed by this video:
Do you ever wonder what jobs are out there? Or how a person got into a certain job? How do you become a professional panda hugger? How do you know that amazing job is out there? As career advisors, we have limited knowledge regarding all careers and sometimes we stumble on cool ones like professional panda hugging! But, with a little time and research, you can certainly find some very interesting prospective jobs that might actually fall into your range of interest. For example, do you like beer? Brew masters make a good living and you can live in places like California, Oregon, or Vermont. Put your beer tasting to work for you!
Are you a person who never wanted to grow up? You wanted to spend your life dressing up as a princess? You love to sing and dance? You wish they would make the cartoon princesses into real life people? Become a Disney character and live in a warm climate! Live out your dream by interviewing and auditioning for the Disney franchise!
Do you still live at home playing video games in your parents' basement? You are the best critic when it comes to video games and you can spot the good (and bad) ones from a mile away? You should be a video game tester. Salary? $71,000/year. Now you can move into your own apartment with your friend who's a brew master.
The name is Bond. James Bond. Do you associate yourself with the numbers 007? Do you dream of protecting a country and the excitement of being a spy? The official name is Intelligence Officer but let's be real, spy is cooler! Get a bachelor's degree (specific subject areas required), a British passport, and pass training. That's it! Then you get to date a Disney princess.
"Art only makes money after the artist has died." Common perception? Sometimes. Or, you can restore art from dead artists and still make a nice living. Art restorers should have a degree in fine arts and specialty areas. Live your art dream and work on pieces no one else gets to touch.
Always loved volcanoes? Was your science fair project an exploding volcano every single year? Become a volcanologist, travel the world studying volcanoes, and possibly live in beautiful places. Yes, things can get hot but you would be saving lives.
Are you in touch with your inner Chi? Do you know how to get other people in touch with their inner Chi? Do you like to work in a variety of areas around a home? You should be a FengShui Consultant. Formal training gives you better opportunities but if you know how to market yourself, you could make a great living bringing peace and harmony to people and their living spaces.
Are you a perfume connoissuer? Do you love fragrances and mixing smells together? Did you love chemistry so much so that you decided to get a Bachelor's degree in the field? You should be a Fragrance Chemist. Work with aromas, test scents, and do something you love!
Google is an amazing way to start a list of interesting jobs around the world or even in your home town. Planning on staying in Utah around the Salt Lake valley? A great resource is https://slcc.emsicareercoach.com/. More adventurous and want to travel the nation? Then www.onetonline.org is the search tool for you! Major and career exploration takes time and effort but believe me, the journey is the interesting part. Even if you're journey-ing from your computer.
