当我非常小的时候，我想成为一位电影明星。对自己有些信心，但是时机已过， 于是乎我接受了这样一个事实：我永远不可能登上杂志的封面，躲避狗仔队，或者嫁给莱昂纳多·迪卡普里奥（好莱坞男演员）。有可能的是，拥有一种精彩的生活和令人满意的事业并不需要得到你孩童时梦想中的工作。有很多令人激动的和可观薪水的工作在像你招手，为了庆祝在工作日的国际节日（愚人节），这里有5大不像工作的有趣职业。没有工作是完美的，即使是很好地工作也有它的不好的方面，但是如果这份工作优点大于缺点的话，你可以选择这份工作。
第5位 写作
你想从一位HelloGiggles 的编著者那里得到什么？虽然我在孩童时期很爱表演这份梦想，但是写作一直是我的真爱。你在网上或者用打字设备都可以工作，无论你是起草商业文件，为营销活动工作，或者是旅行写作微博或者是纸质书，你的写作都反映了你的创造力和内在的自己。写作是困难的，特别是当你感到没有灵感或者被思路困住时，但是当一个自己的个人想法代表了100万美元，你就会被提醒为什么会首先选择这个职业。
第4位 表演艺术
我知道，知道：我在之前哀悼过，我们不可能拥有全部的四座大厦以及和Leo（不论如何，他从不结婚，甚至于令人目眩神迷的最好的女演员也不能影响她）结婚。但是你没有必要在这个领域发展而成为一位著名的或者是富有的演员。如果你喜欢跳舞，你可以观察一下在你社区的工作室和剧院，参与到表演当中，甚至在这个过程中被人看上。表演也是同样道理，如果你想和相似想法的人分享你的才能，你要考虑是专职或者兼职教授或者指导表演技巧。舞蹈指导者平均一年可拿40000美元，而在洛杉矶的表演教练则有望每年拿到70000美元。作为一个奋斗着的舞台演员或表演者并不都意味着是光彩照人的，但是突然成名的机会是很高的。
第3位 婚礼策划
你并不需要看马修·麦康纳（好莱坞性感男星）的2011年的表演才知道婚礼策划是一份很有压力的工作。当你不能搞定在结婚那一特殊一天唠叨个不停的难缠新娘的时候，但是你会发现婚礼是很有趣的。誓言被宣誓，眼泪在掉，爱在空气中弥漫，每个人都开始跳舞。帮助完成别人的婚礼需要有很多的工作去做。但是在结婚哪一天结束时，你却在别人生命中最幸福的一天中扮演了重要的角色。还有什么能比这更有趣的。（当然，除了你的婚礼以外）
第2位 室内设计
这是另一个让别人满意的事业，当你的顾客高兴的时候，你也会为之高兴的。室内设计师需要对装修风格有敏锐的观察力，所以当有人请你为他们的公寓或者是房子重新装修的时候，设计师就需要挑选不同的颜色，各种家居和艺术品以使顾客的居住室光彩照人。室内设计师也需要在办公室工作，如果工作环境闲散并且有创造力，那么工作起来也是很有趣的。
第1位 和儿童一起工作
我不想承认你有五个侄子和侄女以及更长的照顾婴儿的简历，但我知道小孩会杀死你所有的精力。我也知道他们闹腾，可爱，对简单的事情兴奋。和他们在一起工作是一个把相同的激情带到你个人生活中的绝好的方法。尽管非常劳累，但是教育和监管小孩就像是一次冒险。而颜色，游戏，音乐和舞蹈可能会成为你工作描述中的一部分。你可能会在某些天不堪重负并且精力耗尽，但是你并不会感到无聊，或者缺少工作中有趣的事情。我并不知道你，但是我并不介意在工作上制作水彩巨作，并且 New Girl’s Jessica Day 总是在这一领域背叛我。
When I was really little, I wanted to be a movie star. Not to get down on myself, but that ship has sailed, and I’m totally OK with
the fact that I’ll never grace magazine covers, dodge the paparazzi or marry Leonardo DiCaprio. It’s quite possible to have a
wonderful life and fulfilling career without getting your childhood dream job. There are lots of exciting and rewarding professions
available to you, soin honor of International Fun at Work Day (April 1st), here are 10 fun careers that don’t feel like work.
No job is perfect, and even the great ones below have downsides, but if the benefits outweigh the negatives for you, you’re set for life.
5. Writing
What did you expect from a HelloGiggles contributor? Though I loved the prospect of acting as a child, writing was and always
will be true love, and you don’t need to work for online or print publications to do it either. Whether you draft business documents,
work on marketing campaigns, travel write, blog or pen books, your writing is a reflection of your creativity and inner self.
Writing can be tough, especially when you’re feeling uninspired or stumped, but when that million dollar idea presents itself,
you’re reminded why you chose this profession in the first place
4. Performing arts
I know, I know: I lamented earlier that we can’t all have four mansions and tie the knot withLeo (for what it’s worth, he’s never
gotten hitched, so not even stunning Alist actresses can sway him). But you don’t need to be a famous or wealthy performer
to thrive in this field. If you love to dance, look into studios and theaters in your community to participate in shows and maybe
even get scouted in the process. The same goes for acting, and if you’d like to share your talents with similar-minded people, you may consider teaching or coaching your craft full or parttime. Dance instructors earn $40,000 a year
on average, and acting coaches in Los Angeles can expect to take home $70,000 annually. Being a struggling stage
actor or performer doesn’t sound all that glamorous, but it beats making cold calls forever.
3. Wedding planning
You don’t need to see Matthew McConaughey’s 2001 stinker to know wedding planning is a stressful line of work.
When you’re not dealing with demanding bridezillas who won’t shut up about their “special day,” however, weddings can be fun.
Vows are made, tears are shed, love is in the air and everyone gets to dance. There’s a lot of work that goes into another
person’s nuptials, but at the end of the day, you play a role in the happiest day of someone’s life.
What’s more fun than that (aside from your own wedding, of course)?
2. Interior Design
This is another career driven by the satisfaction of others, and when your customer is happy, you will be too. Interior
designers have an eye for style, so when someone asks for an apartment or house redecoration, the designers pick out
different colors, pieces of furniture and artwork that will make the living space shine. Interior designers may also work
on offices, and this can be really fun if the work environment is laid back or creative.
1. Working with kids
With five nieces and nephews and a longer babysitting resume than I’d like to admit, I know children can zap you of all your
energy. I also know they’re hilarious, adorable and stoked about simple things, and working with them is a great way to bring
that same enthusiasm back into one’s own life. Though tiring, teaching and watching kids can be an adventure, as coloring,
games, music and dancing might be part of your job description. You’ll be overwhelmed and burned out some days,
but you’ll never be bored or have a shortage of funny stories about work. I don’t know about you,
but I wouldn’t mind making watercolor masterpieces on the job,
and New Girl’s Jessica Day can always sell me on this area of work.
