Cool Job

I am a tour bus driver for bands that travel around the country on tour. I have driven for a lot of the top acts in the country, both as a truck driver, as well as a bus driver. I have even written a book on the subject called back stage drivers. It tells others what they need to do to take my job from me.

Actor

Why has no one said that acting is really one of the best jobs? Or maybe it's not? Or maybe the actors are so busy as doing their cool job that they never talk about it.

My cool job, airbrushing

I have worked a lot of different jobs, a lot. From cooking to landscaping, working in a stamp factory to working in a laser tag arcade. Of all the jobs The coolest one and the one in which I am currently employed is an Airbrush artist. A lot of people say they are artists and I don't pretend that what I do is ACTUAL art. I work in malls on holidays, on the beach during spring break and I hit up state fairs and carnivals during the in season. Most of the time it is painting names and cartoon characters on Tee-shirts, sometimes I get lucky and someone wants a custom shirt or hat. This is where professional airbrush artists make their cash. Commission based or owning your own stand you can make a lot of money fairly quickly. Not many artists make a decent living off painting cars, bikes and bike tanks. But those that do well that's where the real fun, and art is. I have to say when your not dealing with a horrible boss and you can get paid to be creative, well that's pretty cool.
