Believe it or not, some people get paid—and well—for doing the things that make them really happy. Here are two people who have found the job of their dreams.
“I know all about job-hunting.”—Betsy
A few years ago, I lost my job as a manager in a factory. I was so unhappy. I was thirty-eight years old, out of work for the 100th time, and without much hope. Then, one day I was thinking about the question, “What do I do best?” and the answer came to me. I have been out of work many times, so I know every manual about how to find a job or change a career. I must have been to over 100 interviews in my life, made 1000 phone calls to ask for jobs, and sent out resumes to almost 2000 companies. Career Consulting, it's a business that helps people find jobs. I hired two people to work with me. The three of us work together on everything, but I'm the boss. It's great. I love the work, and I make a lot of money!
“I have a job with an incredible view.”—Donna
Teaching skydiving is so exciting. I love seeing students on their first jump. They are all nervous and excited. When they get to the ground, they can't wait to call everyone they know and tell them they just jumped out of an airplane. Later, when they learn to turn and fly forward, they realize that they're not just a flying stone. They realize that they're like a bird—they can fly.
It wasn't easy to get this job. I had to have about 11,000 jumps and about two years of training. And the salary was only $15,000 for the first year. But I don't do it for the money. In fact, I don't need to get paid at all. I love it that much!
