Celebrity Career Alternatives

Posted by: Christine Fader on: September 5, 2010

I’ve always subscribed to the theory that picking one–and only one–career identity is something that’s not reasonable for most of us to do.  Whether it’s because of life circumstances, financial issues or any other bits of daily reality, most of us will have quite a number of different jobs over our working lifetime, all packaged in one bulky sack called “career”.

Actually, I love that it’s like this.  I was never good at picking just ONE kind of ice cream and I have the same issues with jobs.  There are just too many fun flavours to try.

Turns out that celebrities–y’know, those people who seem to have the golden careers, doing exactly what they love and getting paid very, very well for it–sometimes wonder “what could have been” career-wise too.

The recent article, “Working Class Heroes” by Darryl Sterdan (QMI Agency) talks to celebrities about their ideas for alternative careers. 

Ahhh…the luxury of sitting in your multi-million dollar mansion and thinking “what if”, eh?!  But still, it’s fun to hear (and sometimes mock) what they say.

Land Your Dream Job, Love Your Work

I am Christine Fader, a career counsellor, author and speaker. I have written a book that's been dubbed, "Chick Lit meets Job Search" (Your Workplace magazine) which thrilled me because that's exactly what I was aiming for when I wrote it! I like to help make career and job search processes more accessible and fun because we all know that there are days when you'd rather just stay in your pjs eating Nutella straight from the jar...
