What job would be fun?

[KurriKawari]

I like my job, but it is a serious job in a very serious organisation. Daydreaming about a more fun job - something creative and different every day...

I went to an enchanted fairy forest today. It got me thinking, whoever has the job of building and making and curating the fairy houses must have a fun time. They were amazing, intricate and detailed.

My job is really fun but like any job it comes with the less fun bits. Plus I am self employed so I have to deal with everything myself. But every day is different and I work with clients all over the world and do so from home, its awesome and fits around childcare really well.

Although it is totally rhe kind of job many people think they could do without any training and assume it requires no talent at all.

@fitzbilly that sounds amazing, where was it?

I reckon being a props buyer for tv and film would be fun. Imagine buying all those little period bits that make a production feel real.

Prosthetics for the film industry.

@BabetteAteOtemeal What’s your job? I’m intrigued!

It was at Audley End in Essex. Highly worth a visit.

A Scarer in Madame Tussauds Chamber of Horrors.

I write in my spare time. I imagine it could be fun to be a full-time author, I don’t know for sure though!

I’ve often thought I’d like to work in a job where the clients/customers are (mostly) happy. Weddings, births, holidays... there’s probably plenty of others. My current career I deal with situations that have gone wrong so everyone is usually quite miserable.

My job is creative and different every day. I’ve been doing it for 20 years now. The novelty wears off after a while.

@BabetteAteOtemeal What do you do?

What do you do now and where do you live?

I want to be a location scout. I’m not sure if that even exists as a job but wouldn’t it be amazing

My niece is doing theatre set design at college which sounds fun to me.

That does sound very satisfying

My dd2 has just started training to be a beautician. She's going to be able to do massages and facials and nails and makeup and stuff - things that make people feel good. She's already doing bits for her friends (and me!) and you can tell how much she's enjoying it!

I'm an intimate waxer and I bloody love it. I see a new person every 15 minutes (well 30 at the moment due to Covid) and the secrets and stories they tell me whilst naked on my treatment couch!! . Quite often I can't wait to see them again in 4 weeks for the next instalment!

@Handsnotwands It very much does exist! I've worked with lots of them in my time (Im a TV commercial producer).

Sal1977 do you have a sadistic streak?

I wish I’d trained in giving facials! Purely because I love receiving them and also think it must be lovely doing a job that makes people feel so relaxed

Copywriting and PR. I love it. Mainly because I work for myself! What kind of experience do you have that people might be able to suggest relevant jobs for?

Well Gareth Bale has been paid £600,000 a week to play golf in Spain for the last year or two. Sounds pretty fun to me

It's all about to change and not for the better though
