Passion is not to be understated, and you can never know where you’ll find it, so be sure to consider every avenue. To help with that, this article aims to highlight a handful of potentially fun careers that you might want to engage with.

Writing

If you have a passion for stories or a love for the written word, then there are a veritable plethora of potential writing jobs you can engage with to ensure that your life is as full of writing as it can be. There really is something for everything when it comes to pursuing writing as a career, but some of the most common options are quickly highlighted here.

Content Writing. Most, if not all, businesses have a variety of uses for well-written content. Whether it is used to boost their web presence, provide information to their customers, or otherwise improve their business, content writing can often provide a much-needed boost to business.

Reviews. The court of public opinion is a powerful thing. This means that, for the good of their products and their sales, it is often a good idea for companies to offer advanced copies of their products, be they films, games, or even novels, to review writers who can help to stir up public interest in a product prior to its release.

Authors. Easily the most romanticized form of writing and one of the hardest to break into, those who write novels will often find that they must walk through the fires of failure before they find success. Plus, it is very rare to work solely as a novelist, so be sure to consider other options to keep your ship afloat as you write.

Art

Much like the talented writer, there is no shortage of opportunities available to the skilled artist, if only they are willing to take the leap and seize their opportunities. From graphic design to commissioned pieces, artists can make money from their craft in a variety of ways.

Courier

When it comes to traveling around for your work, the list of potential careers is somewhat shortened. One of the best options for a job where you spend the majority of your time enjoying the open road and a podcast of your choice is to work as a courier. Whether you work with a shipping company or freelance using truck loads and other services to find work as you go, working as a courier is a wonderfully freeing way to work and often sees you driving all over the country and sometimes into others in the course of your work.

IT & Tech

IT and technology have become deeply ensconced in every day of working society, which is why it is vital that plenty of professionals know how that technology works and how to fix it if it stops working. After all, the average person has very little idea of the inner workings of their machines; they just know how incredibly useful they are.

Digital Security. In this age of digital business, it has become more important than ever that your files are locked down, protected, and otherwise guarded against malicious activity online. There are many ways to enact the kind of protection of any tech devices, and the job of a cyber security expert is to ensure that all of these are applied. This includes the creation, management, and download (when necessary) of system backups that ensure that the majority of your clients data is kept safe and sound, even if their system is destroyed.

Repair and Support. Working with your hands and working with computers are rarely things that are considered compatible, but when you’re working with building, repairing, and troubleshooting PCs and other technology, then working with your hands is exactly what you’re going to be doing. So, if you like the idea of getting involved with the inner working of tech and repairing damaged machines, then a job in tech repair and support is a good choice for you.

Acting

Finally, the field of acting is as popular as it is competitive, and if you want to break into the field, you have to be sure that you are willing to wade through a sea of rejections before you find success. On top of that, you have to accept that there will still be plenty of rejections to be found even with your successes.

Traditional. When it comes to traditional acting, you have to be willing to put in the work to become skilled and keep pushing at the auditions until you find your break. People like to talk about how much luck matters in fields like this, and there is an element of truth to that. It is important to recognize how much work and dedication goes into becoming a skilled actor too. If you have the dedication to practice until you are amazing and the dedication to push past your rejections until you break into the field, then there is truly nothing that will stop you from becoming an actor.

Voice Acting. One of the less widely discussed but still incredibly important fields of acting is voice acting. Video games, animated movies, audiobooks, and more need wonderful voices to bring them to life and inject a little wonder into the lives of those experiencing them. So, if you love to read with verve and have a penchant for voices, then you might be just the kind of talent that voice-acting agencies need.
