Top 10 Coolest Jobs

High School — alisa on March 17, 2005 at 7:39 pm

10. Helicopter Pilot It is the hippest way to travel, and it’s fun to be in a helicopter. Doing Grand Canyon Tours would be the number one job, but working for people like Donald Trump, or even the hospital would also be okay.

9. Graphic Book Creator I wish I could draw well, because I could think of some awesome superheros. I could even promote books that are just novels for females in the US. It could be Desperate Housewives, graphic novel style!

8. Google Employee People who work there always seem to be in their own little highly connected geek world. They always get to do stuff first, break all the records, and talk in Geekish to their coworkers. Even if they are from two different branches of Google, they can still talk to each other in Geekish and understand each other. I bet company Christmas parties are great there. Google is a big corporation that is loved by all–geeks and nongeeks alike. Some big corporations such as Walmart and McDonalds aren’t well liked.

7. Author Dan Brown, Lemony Snickett, and Terry Pratchett are all strange and insightful people. They get to join the likes of Mark Twain, Shakespeare, and Edgar Allan Poe. That is deffinately something to boast about to the [possibly future] inlaws.

6. Director/Actor If I was a screenplay writer, I would have to end up being a director and an actor (ahem, actress) just to make sure everything was conveyed perfectly. Heck, I would even have to do some of the filming. Plus, you can live on Rodeo Drive, and make a lot of money.

5. Rockstar/Band Member The music scene is another little cliché that is intimate and friendly and can make you a lot of money. I was reading through some thank you notes on some of my CD inserts–Mae says: Thanks, Relient K. Relient K says: Thanks Anberlin. Anberlin says: Thanks Mae. They all know each other and use each other’s amps and tour together. Then they brake off and tour with big bands like My Chemical Romance, who bytheway was at Edgefest touring with bands like Taking Back Sunday and Pennywise, and yeah. They’re all connected.

4. Band Recruiter/Record Signer I don’t even know what to call this job, I don’t even know if such a job exists, but it would be a cool job to have if it does happen to be a paid position. Going to local concerts and listening for good bands. Working for Virgin Records, or Tooth and Nail Records. Traveling the country and going to University towns to listen for possible record signing deals. That is the bomb job.

“What do you do for a living?”
“I go to concerts.”
“What kind of concerts?”
“Rock Concerts. I introduced the world to Nickleback.”

3. National Geographic Photographer Let’s think about this: Travel the world. See all the sights. On company pay. How great is that?

2. Professional Weblogger I do this for a hobby. Most likely, you are a reader that also keeps a blog for a hobby. People like Matt Drudge get paid to keep a blog. Biz Stone got hired because of his blog, and he works for Blogger. I like Biz Stone–he’s a funny guy. We have stuff in common too. He started with Xanga (he helped create it!), I started with Xanga. You can see my proof. He moved on to Blogger, I moved on to Blogger. He’s a weblogger, I’m a weblogger. He is a genius, I am a genius. See the trend?

1. Journalist This is the number one coolest job because I am going to be a journalist. That’s what makes it so cool. Actually, I want to be a journalist because it combines most of the other Top 10 jobs into one highly intense package. Journalists are: Authors(they write stuff), Directors(at least editors are directors), Photographers(they can be. All Journalists should at least know how to take a picture.), Bloggers(A journalist should at least keep a personal blog–it could become a well visited one because the person has eyewitness info, and the ability to use words in a good way.). Plus, if a journalist wins a Pulitzer Prize, he/she can become rich and famous, like movie actors (well, kind of) and rock stars (again, kind of).

If you don’t have a cool job, or a job at all for that matter, don’t despair. You can always have a McJob!
