Cool Jobs

Are you interested in rock climbing, working at a ski resort or at the beach, or on an Alaskan fishing boat? Would you rather make it big on Broadway or in Hollywood?

There are job search sites that list the cool jobs that most of us only dream of having. There are also ways you can change your career (and your life) in order to follow your dreams. Even after writing about job searching and careers for more than a few years, I'm still thrilled to read about how people succeeded at getting a really cool job or at changing their career so they can do something they love for a living, often in ways that we wouldn't imagine.

Also, if you have a cool job, I'm interesting in hearing about it. Brian Wiggins recently wrote about being bitten by the climbing bug in Utah. Scott Coughlin wrote about the years he spent fishing in Alaska and Mike Doyle, About.com's Skiing Guide contributed information on ski resort jobs, both on and off the slopes. Here's how to contribute a guest article to our collection.
