On a boring day in office, have you ever wondered “How long am I going to be another Dilbert?, Can I start my own business?, What will be my kinda business?”. You are excited reading famous blogs and you discuss about a small business to your colleagues, a startup idea with your brother, sister or partner, a hobby plan with a friend. You start coming up with new ideas for your own small businesses, startups and that cool NGO plan to make a difference into your monotonous living pattern. This has almost become my weekly routine. Another day I think “What if I had to work for someone for the rest of my life and what kind of work will I want to do?” and I start writing this post on my top 10 cool work profiles.
(10) I would love to design my own outfits. What if I had to design Aishwarya Rai’s outfit in her next blockbuster movie? The fame and money that an extraordinary fashion designer gets is huge. And it involves more right brain activities. A very good opportunity to rekindle the creativity in you.
(9) My inspiration is Mr.P.Chidambaram. I do understand that I’m not qualified to become finance minister of India just because I read almost half of this financial year’s budget. Working towards improving your country’s economy and growth to compete with other developed nations is exciting. But the responsibility that comes over to you is also huge. A role to be taken up with dedication, systematic working model and most of all superior financial intelligence.
(8 ) I wanted to be a librarian in my high school days. You can be lethargic, read a lot of books, have a separate room for yourself and look into returned/lent books once in a day. I got this impression from a school which never encouraged reading anything else but text books. Obviously the librarian had little work. But in reality, the task of a librarian in a huge library is too big and not really exciting to me now. A librarian indeed has more work than shouting Silence to Rajnikanth. 
If I had to live in a small organized town then this would be the ideal job for me.
(7) Organic farming.. no, Natural farming.. no, Spiritual farming.. no, it’s Pragmatic farming.. My father’s new experiments. I’m gonna have my own farm when I grow old and if I had to do now, the only person I would work for is my father 
I often wonder how could a chemical engineer go against chemical fertilizers and stick on to pesticide free farming methodologies? I want to build a small house in the middle of a farm, use vegetables and fruits from the farm itself for food and spend time watering trees and leading life lethargically, Isn’t that a peaceful life? It’s not going to be tough if you put up solar panels to power sprinklers and rain guns to water those trees, a machine built with intelligence to plant saplings and seeds at constant intervals. By the time I grow old, I wish I have those equipments at a cheaper price.
(6) Have you ever tried Vanilla ice-cream with Pepsi? This is my favorite combination. This work profile I’m gonna describe is really cool. Ice cream taster 
Yeah.. The road side ice cream vendors sell Vanilla, strawberry, butter-scotch, Mango, Pista. Local restaurants serve American delight, fruit salad with ice cream and three in one cup. Bangalooru malls have outlets which serve Italian Gelatino ic creams. My favorite ones are those at Kodaikanal where you get custard apple, chickoo, mango ice creams made from real fruits. Hey.. I’m a qualified Ice cream taster. Anybody hiring Ice Cream tasters reading this post??
(5) A man is lying dead. His neighbor says they had a fight and he shows his bruises as a proof of the other person trying to kill him. The blood drops on the floor are spherical. They would be elongated and pointed at one tip if they had a fight. And the case unfolds with so much points about the carefully cut wounds, blood stains discovered on the floor. An episode in New Detectives. Only by the time I entered graduation, I realized forensic science in India is not mature. The opportunities to study and work as a forensic scientist is less and it is not as exciting in India as they show in Discovery channel. Given good opportunities to work, forensic scientist is still my favorite job profile.
(4) Ian Wright walks into that beautiful hotel, he admires the artistic work, he has a sea side room, he travels in bus and train, he visits local people’s house and city markets, he eats local delicacies, he plays on sea, he reaches the top of a mountain…. Ian Wright is the host in Lonely Planet, now known as Globe Trekker. Travel show hosts, a cool job, lots of places to visit, good money and most of all work is never a pain. A slight variation in this work profile is traveling to places, cooking and eating local delicacies. A travel show host in Planet Food cooks Caramel Custard in Mexico, eats a crispy insect in China , cooks fish on a boat in Kerala. Wow..
(3) I’ve been reading ET these days to follow stock market. Sometimes I look at what stocks mutual fund houses buy and sell. The role of a fund manager is exciting. Making money for thousands of people, doing strategic stuff, having a list of statistical data. It’s easy to become a fund manager. Study for CAT, join one of the IIMs, choose a fund house to begin your career and earn a lot.
(2) Have you read Anti 9 to 5? No? Me neither. It has been sleeping in my book shelf for months. (I don’t lend my books unless I complete it ) Being a freelance writer is a good option when you can write well. I believe I write better. Do I? Transforming the pictures that you alone see into words that everyone can understand is an art by itself.
(1) The first position goes to the most challenging job in the world. You have to build cities, fight enemies, shoot people, manage armies, form an empire…. The job title is Game Tester Why not game developer? A game developer will end up hating the game because of the process in the company which will allow him to work only on a archer or a boat component Freelance games testing is becoming a hot job these days. What if you get paid for playing games? And that too a strategic game? Which is stable? Hoo.. Hoo.. You can ask for new features to developers and enjoy your favorite game, hmmm.. no, favorite work everyday. Nobody is gonna scold you for playing games in office.
P.S: It would be nice if you share your kinda cool job here
