Can Your Passion Be Your Career?
We tend to think of work in negative terms. It’s something that we have to grind our way through, rather than enjoy. Yet there’s every chance that this is the wrong approach; if we’re going to spend so much of our time doing something, then we should ensure that we like it, right? Easier said than done, sure, but there are likely more options than you realise. Below, we take a look at a few passions that are suitable for a career.

Musical Instruments
If you can play an instrument, then well done — you’ve got a cool, and profitable, skill. It takes many years to build up the expertise needed to play an instrument well, and that means that you already stand out from the crowd. Unless you live in a huge city, the chances are that there aren’t too many musical instrument players around, but are plenty of people who want to learn. You’ll find more work if you can play guitar or piano (two of the most popular choices), but you should find students no matter what you can play. You’ll have to start small and slowly build up, but could eventually become a full-time job.
Exploring with Others
Do you love to travel? If exploring the world is something that you’d do for free, then you’re probably in the correct position to become a tour leader. It takes a lot of time to get comfortable navigating foreign countries and destinations, and it’s something that some people need to be lead through. The barrier to becoming a travel guide is pretty low, though it’ll help if you have some leadership experience. You will need to have a pretty solid grasp on the destination in which you’re leading the group, though, so focus on areas that you’ve visited multiple times and enjoyed.
Sports Related
For many people, the pinnacle job would be a professional athlete. Alas, the ship that contains that dream has usually set sail by the time we’re fifteen or so. But that doesn’t mean that you can’t be involved in sports in other ways: this, after all, is a huge industry. You could make the most of Pay Per Head 24/7 Bookmaking Services, and become a sports betting agent, for instance. Alternatively, you could try to work in the sports world in a more direct way, by becoming a coach or physical therapist. If you love commenting on sports news and fixtures, then take a look at starting your own YouTube channel — if you’re good enough, then your talents will be noticed.
Crafts and Upcycling
For some people, there’s nothing more enjoyable than playing around with less than perfect items, and bringing them back to life. The art of upcycling has become huge in recent years, and people are willing to pay big money for other people’s creations. If you like making things more beautiful, then look for pieces of furniture, figure out how to make them better, and then sell your creations online and at markets.
