Remember the times when parents would force their children to study long hours, in the hope that they would become doctors or engineers and settle down in life?
Chances are you’ve lived through the same as a child. Or if not, you definitely know at least one friend or relative who has.
Times changed, life moved on, and the shift is also very evident when it comes to the kind of work options that you have available today. If you’re looking for something interesting and fun and want to get out of the regular rut, take your pick.
Voice over artist
How many times do you goof around with friends and pull pranks at unsuspecting family members or friends? Do you love mimicking others for fun, or change your voice and sing or talk, or show off accents just for fun? If you enjoy doing these, or if you are the typical screen buff who is fascinated with shows and movies, this is a great career choice for you. It offers you flexible work times, and you also have the option of picking your work at your will, especially if you freelance.
Ghost writer
If writing interests you but you don’t want to associate with a specific brand or site, you can still put your words to good use as a ghost writer. This is also a great way to learn and read up about a host of topics and you can easily choose your work and when you want to work. You can work with websites, publications, authors and others and get a good pay cheque too.
Translator
If you think you are good with languages, you can use this skill to work as a translator. You can start work at one of the many embassies that regularly require translators and language coaches. Alternatively, you can also work with airlines, hotels, schools, online tutorial classes and so on.
Career counsellor
If you are proficient in what you have learnt and have some work experience in life, this is a great way to share your knowledge with others who are new in the field. You can sign up with an agency that is already established, or start your own.

Travel documenter
Love to travel? Then this role is meant for you. If you’ve ever felt jealous at the men and women who speak out to you from your television screens from the best locations in the world, or even from the streets of your own city or country, what’s stopping you from giving it a shot as a work option? Of course it’s not as easy or glamorous as it looks like, so be prepared to face irregular and tough work hours and conditions, and never-ending days on the road and away from loved ones.
There’s no job that is only fun, and anything you do has to have your complete dedication and attention. Before you jump into something, read up and research well, and go for it.
