Occupation Ideas

Since I know I won't be able to go to college and my dream job of being a film director is difficult.. I have been researching jobs that I would find enjoyable, challenging to my creative side, and has flexible hours.

I have come up with a few that I have always thought would be interesting and hopefully doable.


Process Server

Process servers get paid to deliver legal papers. It's really very simple. They pick up the papers from a client and deliver them to the recipient. The documents could be divorce papers, a personal injury lawsuit, or something similar.

Process servers are paid well for their services. You could expect to get paid anywhere from $30 to $250 or more for each document that you serve. The more papers you serve, the more you'll get paid.

A good process server can easily make $70,000 to $100,000 a year or more for delivering legal documents. That's a pretty decent income, wouldn't you agree?
Defiantly the least dangerous of my possible career choices. :) I've read quite a few articles on it, found a good book about it called The Practical Guide to Process Serving. You can get it for me on Amazon.. here's a link to my Wish List: http://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/24EV6LQEAWW0E

This is an ideal job for me for many reasons. It fits what I've been looking for in a job. I've already looked requirement in CO for the occupation and I can do this.

I know I would enjoy this job and I would have to use all my creativity and "mad skills" to do it. Excited? I am.

Another great thing about this is that it's one of those jobs that if you work hard and you're good at your job, you won't be out of work. Just like a funeral home director. :)

The other two jobs are similar: Repossession Agent or (even more dangerous) Bounty Hunter.

Both of these are exciting, dangerous, and take skill, intelligence and serious creativity.

This is all I'll say now, but I have been doing quite a bit of research on all three of these, and I think they are exactly what I want in a future occupation. One of the best parts is... they all do not require a college education! So I can start now!

One small perk is that if I apply and pay for an official license (which is not required in CO, but would probably be a good idea..) I get a badge I can flash. :) (that sentence made me sound pretty incompetent about the entire occupation, but ohh well. Badges are cool.)
