A Red Panda Keeper
“This is the dream!”

Horror Movie Special Effect Artist
“I have a good friend that did this for a long time. Long hours and a lot of work. Sometimes you’ll spend 8 hours making someone up for a couple hours of shooting that may only be a few seconds of screen time. Get to meet a lot of actors, though. You also get to be paid to be artistic all day, which can be really cool.”
-
Ice Cream/Soup Maker
“During the warmer seasons I would like to make and sell ice cream. During the colder seasons I would like to make and sell soup.”
-
An Anonymous Artist
“You can be an artist in any field, from chef to carpenter to coder. It just means you’re being creative.”
-
Mattress Tester
“As long as I can work from home during my own hours.”

“I’ve seen a couple YouTube videos of people who go review resorts in places like the Maldives, and they get to stay for free. Unbelievable.”
-
Stay at Home Parent
“I really wish I could have stayed home with my kids, instead of paying someone else to care for them. But life is expensive, and if you don’t pay into social security and a 401k, well let’s just say that I don’t want to end up sleeping on their couches one day. But I miss them when we’re apart – and that’s only during school hours.”
-
Forest Ranger
“Getting paid to largely do what I do in my spare time anyway (plus what amount to some basic janitorial chores)? Win!”
-
Cake Decoratorr
“I would love to open a bakery. People tell me to do it but it’s such a niche market, I can’t risk it. Just make stuff for friends now.”
-
A Clerk in a Used Bookstore
“Only if cat is in residence.”
-
Librarian at a College Library
“That’s actually a pretty cool career path. You’re not going to be filthy rich doing it, but academic librarians are professionals and some of them get paid pretty well.”
-
Dog Walkers
“I just want to be with dogs all day.”
-
The Easter Bunny
“Only work one day a year. Free chocolate. Sweet bunny outfit.”
