6 Jobs That Are Better Than Regular 9 to 5's

Not everyone wants a job where you do the exact same thing at a desk, for the same hours, everyday.

Working in a hospital seems like there’s always something to do and the hours are definitely more than nine to five if you’re a nurse or a doctor.

2. Court Reporter

Well technically you’re still at a desk, but this job is good for people or are interested in law or who just like to be in “the know” of any court case. These hours go by whenever there’s a trial going on at your court’s location. The trial hours may be nine to five depending on the judge, but it still seems fun.


3. Makeup Artist

This job definitely isn’t your average ‘clock in at the office’ job because you come at your client’s request. It takes a few hours depending on the look you’re doing and how many people you have to do.


4. Air Traffic Controller

Honestly, I just added this one because I heard they make about 113,000 a year. There are shifts that aren’t nine to five though because planes fly at all times.


5. Voice Over Artist

Voice over artists have different hours than regular actors because they don’t have to worry about hair, makeup, blocking, or getting that perfect on-screen chemistry look. Plus, wouldn’t it be fun to become as important as Tom Kenny aka Spongebob?

Well, because … why not?

Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
