Careers gone wild: go ahead - The Scoop - Brief Article - Book Review
Careers and Colleges, Jan-Feb, 2004
Go ahead. Think of the most fantastic career you would ever like to have. The odds are it probably already exists, especially given the careers listed in the book Odd Jobs by Nancy Rica Schiff (Ten Speed Press). The book describes how Betty Lyons (pictured on the cover) conducts odor tests, including deodorant efficacy, Annette Kirszrot paints artificial eyeballs, Peter Chase raises earthworms, Jeffrey Glanzer fills the cracks on the presidents' faces on Mount Rushmore, Cindy Pina inspects potato chips, and George Van Horn extracts venom from snakes.
Paging through this book may help you find your own unique and unexpected career path.
