One of the biggest tests we face in college isn’t that of statistical formulas, key terms or theories. Some might suggest it’s the greatest determinant of your future. It’s a mental test, one that sees how far you can go till you crack, how hard you will work for something you want. Either way, in these hours of desperation, when faced with copious amounts of stress, we all have …. considered our options. Here are a few careers outside our college curriculum you may have thought about. Some admirable. Some lofty. A few morally questionable.

 

1. Singer

Because if T-Pain can, so can you.

 

2. Whatever Jenna Marbles does

Girl crush level: 3

3. Rap/Dance Battler

 

Not sure if this is a career, but let me have my dream!

 

4. Panhandler (with coin cup)

Tip: You will make more money if you don’t drink the coins

5. Exotic Dancer

If you look and/or dance like Channing Tatum, this may be a viable option. 

 6. Brewmaster

I don’t always know what I’m doing with my life… but being the DOS EQUIS guy could be fun.

7. MTV Reality Star

But not really..

8. A Kardashian

Scott Disick is the best Kardashian.

9. Target Cashier

#AlexFromTarget

10. A Farmer

Of grapes… for wine. Okay fine, a “Vineyard Owner”.

No matter what you’ve considered in the past, remember you made it this far.  Keep working hard and follow what you love, whether that takes you to a top floor office or to a rap battle on the streets.
