Sometimes… you just have to! You can rise above average when you realize that your life is not enough if you haven’t stretched to reach for your dreams. If you can’t give amount of money to help others that you have always wanted, if you can’t have that choice of making your living doing what is your life’s purpose, if you can’t do or have some of extraordinary, than there can be no contentment for you.

When an average person comes to this stage, they have to get committed inside themselves. They have to know that if they are going to have what is a successful life for themselves they are going to have to face that fear, take that challenge, figure out what is going to make them successful and create it.

Is it easy being average? Yes, actually it IS easy. Is it enough? Not for some of us and we have to set those goals, go past norm, challenge fear, and do whatever it takes. And as we continue to create that success and live our life’s purpose; we WILL rise above average!

Furniture Tester

Now here's a good one. The La-z-Boy Company (and probably others) employs furniture testers to check out their recliners. Want to relax for a living?

Cowpuncher

You can herd, castrate and brand cattle. Then, when you get bored castrating cattle, you can repair fences, watering troughs and do other maintenance work on ranch.

Alligator Wrangler

This is more of a dangerous job than a strange one, and probably not worth pay, unless you get a T.V. show like The Crocodile Hunter.

This is just a small sampling of weird jobs out there. I understand that sumo-wrestlers need helpers in bathroom, for example, and a friend of mine once had a job painting "Brake Release" on those little handles all day. Then there are strange businesses you can start, but that's another story.
