• Virtual assistant
• Selling books online
• Mascot
• Face Painting
• Cater waiter
• Beekeeper
• English teacher abroad
• Soap maker
• And much more!

For each job listed, there is a summary of what the position entails; potential pay and hours; start-up costs; qualifications necessary; and more. Interspersed throughout are insiders’ accounts of odd job experiences sure to give you an honest and amusing picture of what you might encounter. Yes, this is fun reading, but it is more—a chance to change your life!
