Odd Jobs is a newsletter about careers that don’t fit in cubicles. Too many people are miserable with their lives, jobs, and themselves. Why not do something odd and make $$$ while you’re at it? I’ve got a million ideas for you.
Ps. we’re doing a fun giveaway this month ($25 Amazon gift card & a t-shirt we designed!!!) enter to win here. The more you share this newsletter with your pals, the more you’ll climb to the top of the leader board and snag the grand prize).
It’s FRIDAY and I’m going to make Friday the day I share open jobs that you can apply to if you’re looking for a NEW (and odd-ish job).
I found these searching the internet and while they are location specific, if one pops out at you, see if there’s a similar job in your city.
