What type of job do you want to have? Is it a highly paid and high-profile conventional job most people like? Yes, you can have it. It is matter of your choice and an important decision that would help you advance in your life. But have you ever thought of other types of jobs out there--- cool, fun, exciting, even strange or weird jobs you never knew existed? What are they? Did you ever wonder who picks up the chewing gum left on a park bench or who assesses whether a piece of furniture is comfortable enough or who constructs glass eyeballs or who farms oysters in the middle of the ocean? These are all odd, unexpected, wild, unconventional, strange or just plain weird jobs and careers. They are not your traditional career choices, but somebody out there does all these things, gets paid for it, and enjoys life like anybody else. There are hundreds of such jobs to take if you want to travel the less taken ways of life. You have to decide on several questions:

• What companies will recruit/ hire me?
• Do I actually get å paycheck?
• What type of education/ diploma will I need?
• Can I make a living doing this?

Your answers to these questions will help draw your career roadmap and help you decide if you are ready to take the challenge. Decide if you want a change. A lot of strange jobs also allow you to work part-time or towards a freelance when it fits your schedule. This way you can get a taste of freedom, a secondary income, and gain experience at the same time.

Do you have interests beyond writing memos and attending boring meetings? If so, you may wonder how you can find a strange job. Hobbies are a good place to start. What do you do for fun? Do you stuff animals, act like Charlie Chaplin, or make model cars? There are people out there working in fields, making money off their hobbies. Maybe they are testing mountaineering equipment, developing fragrances, or saving sea turtles. And they are getting paid good wages too.
