But, when you got up to get dressed and go to work this morning, it might not have been for a career in one of these fields.

It might be that you are just getting your work life started or you are finally to the point where you realize that you just don't have your heart in the job you currently have.

You might have had this job for twenty years and it's just dawned on you that the dead end sign is getting closer and closer?

Either way, you are probably racking your brain looking for some adventure or some type of industry that you would actually consider fun. Remember the old adage, "Do what you love and you'll never work another day in your life."

Of course, it would be nice if this "fun" job is actually lucrative enough to be able to pay your bills and possibly raise a family. And it would be even nicer if you didn't have to go back to school and possibly on to medical school.

However, the medical industry has the highest paying average in the entire country, so if money is your motivator, you might want to start searching for the best rates on student loans.

But, if you are somewhat of a thrill junkie, or that nine to five life just isn't your cup of tea, I think we might have stumbled on to a few occupational ideas that might be right up your alley.

Just take a look and see if one of these fun jobs that actually pay pretty well, might grab your attention!
