It can never hurt college students to gain some work experience. While some students may land internships within their majors, others may be looking for something different to do.
Even college graduates may find this idea appealing. Once they have graduated from college, graduates hope to find the right entry level job, preferably in their majors. However, some of them may be willing to take positions somewhat out of the ordinary that could lead to a potential career. These positions are known as offbeat jobs. While they may not be the type of jobs you would normally pursue, they should be respected like people in other professions such as doctors, lawyers, and teachers.
So, what are some examples of offbeat jobs for college students? The following:
Any job with a professional sports team
Artist
Secret shopper
Clown, magician, or holiday character
Some offbeat jobs for college graduates are:
Cellar technician
Embalmer
Chimney sweeper
Image consultant
Colon hydrotherapist
You can read more about these jobs on the websites below.
Here are some other jobs I thought about:
Recording artists in music
Actors/Actresses
Politicians
I believe offbeat jobs can best be described as "unique". They are the jobs that most people with college degrees probably wouldn't consider in the real world. An offbeat job is not for everyone, but it could be perfect for you. That's why entry level job seekers should keep open-minds, which could lead them to unexpected opportunities.
While it may not seem likely at first, both college students and graduates could benefit from unique work experiences that may help shape their futures.
