6 Interesting Career Paths You Might Not Have Considered

There are so many interesting jobs out there waiting for people to fill them. But a lot of us don’t even realise what we could be doing. We stick to the boring, run of the mill career paths that everyone knows about.

What career you do will impact on your overall happiness in life, that’s why it’s so vital to get it right. Don’t settle for the first job you land in, look around and explore until you find the one that’s right for you. If you’re struggling for ideas, here are 6 interesting careers that you have probably never considered before.

  1. Auctioneer

Auctions are always exciting and interesting places to be. Anyone who has ever attended one will know this already. But have you ever looked into the possibility of becoming an auctioneer? You get to be the ringleader of the proceedings, and you’ve got to admit all that fast talking looks pretty fun. And, on top of it all, you get to wave around a hammer all day long.

  1. Metalworks

Creating something useful and worthwhile can be incredibly satisfying. If that sounds appealing, a job in metalworks could be the one for you. Companies like Ampwire create metal safety and guards and office equipment. While other companies create sculptures and garden equipment. The options are limitless.

  1. Publisher

We may be living in a technological age, but the publishing industry is still as busy as ever. The move towards e-publishing was overstated, and the vast majority of people still buy paper books. Therefore, a job in the publishing industry is still a viable career option for a lot of people. There’s a lot of reading and tough decisions to be made for publishing agents, but it can still be fun.

  1. Events Manager

Do you thrive under pressure and like to be the person who keeps all the plates spinning while everyone else loses their head? Then a job in events management could be the ideal career path for you. You have the opportunity to get out of the office and put plans into action. That means a lot of stress though, and things are always going wrong. Make sure you’re prepared for that!

  1. City Planner

Not many people have jobs that can affect the way in which people live and experience their environment on a day to day basis. But city planners do. You’ll be responsible for the design and layout of public space. That sounds interesting, and it is, but be prepared for all the boring paperwork that also comes with the job.

  1. Funeral Director

This is one of those jobs that no one really want to do. It doesn’t cross the mind of most people thinking which job to apply for. And that’s understandable. The pay is very high though, and you would be providing a very valuable service to grieving families. It certainly isn’t for everyone, but it’s at least worth considering.

Finding the right career for you can be hard. But it’s worth putting the effort into it because there’s nothing worse than being stuck in the wrong job.
