IP 10 - Odd Jobs Profile

Hi IP 10!  Today you will start on an "Odd Jobs Profile."  What is this, exactly?  Well, we all know some of the most common jobs that maybe we even dreamed of doing when we were younger: teacher, doctor, lawyer, firefighter, movie star, fashion designer, construction worker....

This assignment is a bit different. For this post, do a bit of research into a weird or unusual occupation, learn about it, and write about it. Have you ever considered, for example, being a drawbridge tender? How about a jelly donut filler, fingerprint analyzer, or a skyscraper window washer?

Guidelines for the assignment:

1. Identify the occupation

2. Give a description of the duties required of such a position (as specific as possible, where appropriate)

3. Find out the hourly wage or annual salary of such a position, if possible

4. Choose a photo or video to complement your writing

5. Outline two or three benefits and drawbacks of finding yourself in such a career

6. Tell your audience whether you would ever consider doing this job (or something similar) yourself

A creative writing style will enhance your post for the viewing audience. Use descriptive language and engaging words to grab the attention of the reader.

Happy blogging! :)
