As college applications are kicking off for seniors, it’s impossible not to think of what comes next. Here’s some inspiration. Good luck!
- Underwater archaeologist:
It is what it sounds like: your job is to explore shipwrecks and drowned cities for research, museums, and the advancement of science.
- Food truck owner:
Apparently, Rupert Grint got an ice cream truck with his money from the Harry Potter films. It gives you the chance to be completely individual with your cooking style. Plus, if Ron does it, it must be a good idea.
- English teacher in another country:
If you’ve dreamed of living in another country, but you’re not sure how to do it, consider being an English teacher. You’re immersed in the culture and the learning is a two way street.
- Computer animator for films:
It’ll be your job to make sure the animation runs smoothly. It requires a lot of math, but there is certainly gratification from knowing it’s your work. Elsa’s snowflakes will have nothing on you!
- Video game voice actor:
It’s up to you to make sure the gamer is completely involved with the story and characters of the game. In some cases, you could even do motion capture, like Ellen Page in Beyond: Two Souls. You could literally play as yourself.
- Crossword Puzzle Writer:
Hide whatever secrets you want in there, it’s entirely up to you!
- Window designer:
Use a mixture of advertising skills with interior design to create a perfect shop window. Create a composition that shows off what the shop is selling while adding your own artistic flare. You could work with anything from designer brands to biking gear or china plates.
- Furniture designer:
Use architecture and physics to form the ultimate functional craft: furniture. This ties closely in with interior design, but in this case, each small detail, chair, and rug would be personal to you.
- Paleopathologist:
You would be studying ancient diseases. Use its previous path to predict its future. This mixes science, history and archaeology in a very unique way. It’s a way to get closer to the past, while also helping to make a safer future.
- Props Master:
You have to acquire, buy, or somehow manufacture all the props needed for whatever film, TV show, or stage production you are working for. You would have brought the chocolates to Forrest Gump, Sting to Bilbo, and every wand in the Harry Potter movies to their owners.
