Share on
With the rapid growth of technology, changing landscapes and changing mindsets of people offbeat careers are growing and thriving in today’s world. The job market is changing faster. Careers which existed 20 years back are nearly extinct and so many new careers have appeared in the last 5 years. Choosing a career based on scope is slowing fading and people are choosing careers based on their interests and skills they possess. Here are some careers which are off the traditional ways and unique and new.
- Youtuber: Unlike the traditional movie actors and actress, a youtuber can even be a common person, an animation or just someone who shares their audio. YouTube is currently the largest entertainment platform even bigger than many movie studios.
- Pet groomer: People’s love for pets has gone through the roof. A highly professional specialist takes care of grooming needs for the pets the same way we undergo grooming for ourselves, also you get the added benefit of interacting with numerous fun pets.
- AI engineer: How often do you hear the word AI today. It’s like every company is putting the AI tag to sell their products. However, AI engineers are in hot demand as the race is on to make the best AI products. Those sci fi movies now seem like it could be a reality someday.
- Game tester: Looks like playing games can actually be productive. Games as become a form of entertainment along with the movie and music. Many games take years to even a decade to complete production and hence lots of time and money is invested. Game testers push the limits and find bugs to fix to successfully launch the game.
- Fitness trainer: If you are healthy and know all the ways to keep fit you can share the knowledge to the new world which is more sedentary and unhealthier. There is a growing demand for people trying to get healthy and fitness trainers help to meet their goals.
- Ethical hackers: The internet is penetrating every part of society and will continue to grow. Along with it the number of criminals on the web increases. Hackers try to get into corporate servers to gain critical information or damage their data causing a lot of financial damage. Ethical hackers do the same thing but are hired by the company to test their digital security.
- Food tasters: Chefs are well known, but food tasters? These people work for food manufactures or restaurants to taste their food products to determine how well they taste and how appealing they are before they produce it in large scale to the public.
- Animator: Animation movies have the greatest advantage of unlimited creativity potential as they do not need to involve reality and it’s not limited to cartoons. Animated movies and shows today also feature adult themes and unique stories which otherwise would not be possible if the laws of reality are applied.
The saying goes true- “Choose a job you like and you never have to work a day in your life”, make your choice smartly for brighter future.
