Odd Jobs - Odd Jobs if You're Like Barbie
Jen “Odd” Glantz here! I’ll admit it. I haven’t seen the Barbie movie yet. It’s not because I don’t want to or don’t think it’ll live up to the hype. It’s just that I can’t seem to find the time to tip-toe to the theater, fumble around with some popcorn, and watch a screen. A friend told me about a drive-in theater down the road. I figured what a great plan! Pack the car with treats, Goofy (the dog), Gemma (the baby), and Adam (the husband), and drive on over. We could watch it all together (since we do 100% of things as a family these days). But then I saw the movie is only playing at 9pm and that just won’t work with bedtime and bath time and…you get the hint. So instead of writing about Barbie the movie, I want to write about Barbie the odd job career woman. But if you’re like Jen, I don’t care about Barbie. Maybe you’ll care about the business of drive-in theaters instead. Pretty cool idea! Oddies But Goodies
Odd Jobs if You're Like BarbieA fun fact about Barbie is that this year she. Turns 60 years old and during that time, she’s had over 200 careers. She’s run for president and landed on the moon. It reminds me of this career theme park we used to have in south Florida called Wannado city. You could go there and try out different jobs. It was a wild little place that made people feel like they could do anything. I miss that feeling. Do you? If you need a little inspiration today, I’m sharing some of the jobs Barbie has had. Maybe it will give you a push to explore new or different careers or remind you that YES you can start a side hustle - even if it’s a bit odd.
Ps. want to do something different? I’d love to help you make that happen. See you next week my odd pen pal. -Jen You're currently a free subscriber to Odd Jobs. For the full experience, upgrade your subscription. |
