7 Types of Jobs That Don't Feel Like Work

If you're looking for a job, you've probably heard the advice to find something that's aligned with your interests. But, as a friend recently pointed out, this can be limiting. Maybe your degree is in art history and your interest is accounting. Or maybe you like being outdoors but don't want to be an archaeologist or an engineer (and those are still careers where you'll spend most of your time indoors!).

In today's modern economy—especially as more people work remotely from their home offices—the options for what kind of work people do have broadened considerably. In fact, there are plenty of jobs out there that don't feel like work at all! Here are seven types:

Think outside the box!

Here are 7 jobs that don't feel like work:

• Yoga instructor - This job is becoming more and more popular as people seek out ways to stay healthy while also gaining flexibility, strength and balance in their bodies. Yoga instructors help people reach these goals by teaching them poses, breathing techniques and other skills they need in order to perform yoga on their own. It's a great job because it can be done anywhere -- all you need is some space and some willing participants!
• Food taster (or "food critic") - Food critics review restaurants for magazines or newspapers, giving them scores out of five stars based on how good the food tastes as well as how much it costs compared to similar restaurants around town. They also review recipes from cookbooks so readers know whether or not something will turn out well before they spend time cooking it themselves at home; this makes them extremely helpful guides when shopping for ingredients too!

1. Hobbies That Happen to Pay

If you love something, and want to do it all the time, that's a good sign that you can turn your hobby into a job. You'll have to put in some elbow grease, but if you succeed and get paid for doing what you love, then consider yourself one of the lucky few who have found their career path.

If you don't like your current job or career path, maybe it's because there isn't enough room for growth in your current field? Sometimes when we find ourselves stuck in an industry where there aren't any opportunities for advancement (or at least not any that match our ambitions), we lose interest in our jobs entirely.

If this sounds familiar to you: try turning your hobby into a side hustle instead! All those years spent learning how to code may not be paying off right now—but if they were happening on the side while working as an accountant at Amazon? Suddenly it seems like one of those stories where someone quit their day job completely out of nowhere after starting up their own company overnight with no warning whatsoever. Why did this happen? Because he had been coding full-time since high school...

2. Jobs That Are Super-Social

Because of the nature of the job, you’re likely to meet and get to know people. It’s a great way to get out of your comfort zone and make new connections.

3. Work You're Highly Educated For

Work you're highly educated for. This is a pretty self-explanatory one, but it's worth mentioning that the type of work you're most suited for is often a job that doesn't feel like work. If you know what your strengths are and what it takes to get a job that fits those strengths as well as possible, then it makes sense that this would be your ideal situation.

You don't have to worry about doing boring tasks or getting stuck in positions where you're overqualified—you can focus on the actual task at hand while simultaneously being challenged and doing something meaningful. The best part? It usually pays pretty well too!

4. Work You Get Paid in Cash For (Really!)

• Work You Get Paid in Cash For (Really!)

This is one of my favorite ways to make extra money, because it's so simple and can be done on your own time. If you have any skills that are in demand and don't require a lot of education, then you're already set up for success—and if not? There's no harm in trying! Here are some examples:

• Tutoring—No formal teaching degree required! You just need basic math and English skills and an ability to communicate effectively with others. If you want to teach other subjects or grade levels, take classes at a local community college or adult learning center until your skills are strong enough.

The more self-motivated you are, the easier this will be for you; if all else fails try partnering with another tutor who has more experience than yourself so they can mentor while still keeping themselves busy too

5. Jobs That Allow for Healthy Habits

There are many jobs that allow you to do things like go to the gym, eat healthy foods and take time off during the day to exercise. If you're looking for a job that lets you maintain your health and fitness, look into positions in healthcare, fitness or recreation.

These can include roles as physical therapists and athletic trainers; massage therapist; personal trainer; EMT (emergency medical technician); veterinarian assistant; lifeguard; yoga instructor; gym owner or manager.* Healthy habits for work

If there aren't any jobs out there where healthy habits are encouraged by management and coworkers, try making them part of your own routine anyway!

It may feel awkward at first if everyone else is taking smoke breaks every hour on the hour outside while you sit inside reading a book with an empty water bottle beside it instead of going outside too—but eventually they'll get used to your new routine too.* How do I make healthy habits a part of my job?

6. Work That's Fun, but Fickle

• Fun, but fickle: This is the kind of work that's enjoyable and doesn't feel like work. That said, you may have a hard time predicting how much you'll be paid from month to month. The hours are variable and not consistent—meaning it can be feast or famine when it comes to your paycheck.
• New opportunities: You might find yourself in this situation if you're doing a job that's new or doesn't yet have a salary scale attached to it. In some cases, this type of job can make sense for employers who want to pay workers based on performance alone (and not tenure).

7. Jobs Where You Can Flex Your Creativity and Leadership Skills

No matter what your job is, leadership skills are important. Whether you're in charge of a team or not, you can use your natural abilities to help others succeed. Leadership skills are also applicable to any job—whether it's being a manager or working in customer service. Let's look at how leadership applies to each type of job on this list:

• In sales and marketing teams, leaders should be able to solve problems quickly and effectively with minimal input from others. They must also have an understanding of their product so they can speak about it intelligently when meeting with potential clients (or even current ones).
• For teachers, instructors and mentors who work one-on-one with their students (or mentees), the ability to listen carefully while teaching is essential; if they don't understand what their student has been unable to grasp thus far in class then they will never be able to help them overcome this barrier! They must also know themselves well enough so that they're not afraid when situations get heated--such as if someone else disagrees with them during class discussion time."

The bottom line is that if you’re looking for a job that doesn’t feel like work, it may be time to rethink what you think of as work. If you love what you do and there's room for creativity and leadership skills in your job description, then it might not matter if you're making money or not.
