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.

Hi Kim,

I'm writing to you personally to share my excitement with you about our impending launch of the GVN Village PoDs.

If you haven't checked it out already, then please go to: http://gvnpods.org [This website will be open to the public on the 30th of September]  You'll see the videos on the website explain what we are doing in more detail, and give you a visual of the land.

Our first PoD is in Uganda and we have just signed off on a stunning 23 acre piece of land about 45 minutes outside Kampala (Uganda's capital city).

Our dream is to create a platform where innovation, engagement, creativity and community development can come together between the local community and volunteers, artists, research teams, grassroots organizations, international NGOs, educational institutions, community groups, medical outreach teams, universities, musicians, students, social entrepreneurs etc.  Yes, it's a big dream and so very exciting that we're on our way to seeing it realised.
