Jobs that are fun AND pay well??

What do you think — is it possible to have both? In my experience, it's often been one or the other. If you DO think having both is possible — what are some examples of these types of jobs?? Asking for a friend (lol).

I know someone who is a luxury bed tester. I'm not sure what he makes but he seems to be doing well for himself and loves the job.

Wow, I feel like I would take a lot of naps on the job.

I've always wanted to be a Voice-Over artist. Successful professionals are paid well!

I worried about this for the last few years, after being slowly crushed two jobs ago and not having enough time to focus on what I liked about that role, and then working in an abusive situation last. I started a new job this week as a consultant - doing business analysis and mentorship as my first project, two things that I LOVE. It's out there for you. It's possible.

my friend is a professional calligrapher! how crazy is that. It took a lot of work to build her business but she is successful and has a VERY impressive roster of clients.

So cool! I've always wanted to be great at calligraphy! I did not inherit that skill...

I've got a friend that's a photographer. She had to work insanely hard to build up a client list at the beginning, but now she's doing great, makes good money and loves her job.

I work in recruiting and love it. Most of the recruiters I know are pretty happy in their jobs, and make over $100k. It's tough to start out, and you won't make much at first, but it's totally worth it later on. It can be stressful, but there are also a lot of ups to go with the downs, so it evens out.

That's so fun! I've always been curious... do recruiters have a hiring quota? How do you measure your success??

I personally think anything that involves traveling is fun and can pay well. I think any job is fun when you are very passionate about it. If you love waking up in the morning to get to work, then you've found a job that you find fun or that you like.

Freelance travel writing looks fun! Free trips and you get to write about them!

My friend is a sommelier for a living. While she doesn't get paid over six figures, she gets to drink wine for a living so that's pretty cool.
