Climbing could be an extraordinary job

"Extraordinary jobs" are dream jobs - jobs you would be willing to take a pay cut for. They may be in fantasy locales or offer opportunities to do things you've always wanted to do. You read about extraordinary jobs and wonder how people go about getting them. You probably also wonder if the jobs could possibly be as good as they sound!

 

This website offers resources, information, and advice about how you can find those jobs you’ve only ever dreamed about. We hope that some of the ideas we present here will help you to make your dreams a reality. Whether you want to work for a nonprofit in India, crew on a yacht, or build dams in Africa, it all starts with understanding the requirements of the job and its locale. Our goal is to give you the information you need to get started.

The process will not always be easy, but we believe that your dreams are not the remote fantasies you may think they are.  We aim to help people turn their fantastic ideas into reality.

We are based in the U.S., but our writers venture around the world, sailing, working, and living. Sometimes all at the same time. Their experiences are as diverse as their opinions.

We are NOT a placement agency. We offer advice and resources. We get a lot of e-mail from website visitors who want to apply for a job here. Sadly we don't have jobs to offer at this time, just information. We do what we can to help you find your way. The best way for you to ask for our assistance is to contact us.

Challenge us... When you write in with a question, be sure to include: Where you are, where you are trying to go, what job you want, what qualifications you have for that job, if any. If you have any other info that might be helpful to us in searching out the answer to your question, include that too.

If you would like to read our rather random collection of articles (extraordinary jobs cover a great deal of territory, after all), click on the news tab.

Contact Us If there is some information that we aren’t offering, or the way we are offering it doesn’t seem quite right to you, then click on the contact tab and shoot us an email, telling us what it is you need.

By the way, if some of the jobs don’t sound so extraordinary or fantastic to you, remember that we don’t dream the same. And that makes the world a more interesting place.

Extraordinary Jobs for Ordinary People

Job Related PROKLAHOMA CITY, June 28, 2010 -- "Renew" is a term commonly associated with the energy industry, but now it will also be used to describe the employment process.

The official launch of the Green Energy Jobs Network on Wednesday, June 30, 2010 will mark the beginning of renewable energy companies and job seekers being able to take an efficient approach to the hiring process.

"We are excited that job seekers and employers from the green energy sector will now have a job board dedicated specifically to renewable energy. Job seekers and employers alike can now find their best fit in the energy industry," said Matt Richards, President of Energy Jobs Network.

Question and AnswerHi Kim,

I've been following your newsletter for years. I too worked on a charter yacht as a crew in the Caribbean many years ago, returned to my home city, Vancouver and settled. I must also be a wanderer, as I am having a feeling that life is humdrum, and also can't seem to put a plan together.  I went to South East Asia for 4 months after quitting a job and I worked on a cruiseship for 2 years. I don't have any kids and we are both in our forties. We are seeking something to do as a couple, make some money legally in a different country (south) during the winter. What that is, we still don't know.

The legalities of ability to make money and work in a different country hold us back. We are not in a financial position to work only half of the year, and are not working in seasonal positions. We don't fall into the commonwealth countries (England, Australia, Canada, Ireland) 18-35 age range of being able to get short term work visas. We may look into house swapping or, are there jobs that don't attach to any country? I know that working on ships is working on international waters, therefore able to pay in cash and usually non-traceable.

These are my thoughts. Other than giving up an income, and going to volunteer somewhere where you willl receive accommodation and food in return for your efforts, I don't know of a way. Do you?

Thanks for your ever wondering, ever wandering spirit!
Heather
