16 Jobs that Turn Uncommon Skills into Income
Get paid to whistle.

My favorite question to ask people these days is:
What’s an odd skill of yours?
I’m not just asking that question because it’s a good icebreaker (can’t you tell how fun I am at parties LOL) but because I want to help them make more money.
When we’re thinking of side hustles or new jobs for ourselves, we often look at our resume.
But I hope you realize that your work experience isn’t the only experience you have to offer.
Don’t discount what makes you odd.
Because it could lead to extra cash money landing in your pocket.
